Nonce Agent

​

Configure Custom Miner Passwords

After installing the Agent, configure non-default miner passwords on the Agent host:

• Log in to the host running Agent.
• Open the Agent configuration file at /etc/nonce-agent/.env.
• For Antminer, uncomment # MINER_API_ANTMINER_WEB_PASSWORD=root and replace root with the miner password.
• For WhatsMiner, uncomment # MINER_API_WHATSMINER_WEB_PASSWORD=admin and replace admin with the miner password.
• Save the file and restart the Agent service with sudo systemctl restart nonce-agent.

​

Recover After a Power Outage

Nonce Agent starts automatically when its host boots. After power is restored, start the host if necessary. The Agent resumes monitoring when the operating system finishes booting.

​

Troubleshoot an Offline Agent

1. Check the Agent service status:
   sudo systemctl status nonce-agent
   
2. Review the Agent logs:
   sudo journalctl -u nonce-agent -f
   
3. Confirm that the host has network access.
4. If the Agent remains offline, restart the service:
   sudo systemctl restart nonce-agent
   
5. If the issue persists, contact Nonce support.

​

IP Range Scan Frequency

By default, Nonce Agent scans configured IP ranges every 60 minutes. It attempts to connect to each address, identifies miners, and adds newly discovered miners to the monitoring list.

​

Data Collection Frequency

By default, Nonce Agent collects miner data every 5 minutes. It reports performance, status, and other available metrics to Nonce for display in the dashboard.

​

Update the Agent

Nonce Agent does not support automatic updates. Check for and install updates from the Agent section of the farm settings page.
