Nonce Agent

For step-by-step Agent help, go to Install Nonce Agent.

​
If I previously changed my miner password, what should I change in Nonce Agent?

After installing Agent, you can specify custom credentials for miners:
  • Log in to the host running Agent.
  • Navigate to the Agent configuration file, typically located at /etc/nonce-agent/.env.
  • For AntMiner: Uncomment # MINER_API_ANTMINER_WEB_PASSWORD=root and change root to your miner password.
  • For WhatsMiner: Uncomment # MINER_API_WHATSMINER_WEB_PASSWORD=admin and change admin to your miner password.
  • Save the file and restart the Agent service with sudo systemctl restart nonce-agent.

​
Will my Agent recover automatically after a power outage?

Yes. Nonce Agent is designed to run automatically when the system starts. After a power outage, once power is restored and the host reboots, Agent will automatically start and continue monitoring your miners.

​
What should I check if my Agent goes offline?

If your Agent goes offline, follow these troubleshooting steps:
  1. Check the Agent service status:
sudo systemctl status nonce-agent
  1. Check Agent logs for more details:
sudo journalctl -u nonce-agent -f
  1. Ensure the host network connection is working properly, since Agent requires network access.
  2. If the issue persists, try restarting the Agent service:
sudo systemctl restart nonce-agent
  1. If the issue is still not resolved, contact Nonce support for further assistance.

​
How often does IP range scanning run, and how does it work?

Nonce Agent runs miner IP range scanning every 60 minutes by default. Agent scans the IP ranges configured in the settings file, attempts to connect, and identifies miner devices in those ranges. Once a new miner is found, Agent automatically adds it to the monitoring list and starts collecting related data.

​
How often does data collection run?

Nonce Agent runs data collection every 5 minutes by default. Agent periodically connects to identified miners and collects performance data, status information, and other relevant metrics. These data points are sent to the Nonce platform so users can view and analyze miner health on the dashboard.

​
How do I update Agent?

Nonce Agent does not currently support automatic updates. You can check for updates and manually update Agent in the Agent section of the farm settings page.
