I started having problems with fahmon in XP a few months ago slower refresh times, and on one rig lost the ability to resize the window(despite multiple uninstalls) Seemed to coincide with windows updates.

So I switched to fahspy and all is well again.:thup:

Question for everyone is what are we using:

Fahmon
Fahspy
or something else

Also list any problems you might be having or had in the past.

Thank You for Participating in this informal survey.;)

I use FahMon, but most of my boxes run w/o being monitored, so it's not overly taxing on FahMon.

Until the last few weeks the last program i used to monitor my clients was EMIII :eek:

Currently using both Fahmon & Fahspy. I'll give the nod to Fahspy though as Fahmon seems to have issues with clients folding from vm's.

Fahspy, have troubles with it deciding it has 'no access' to my vms randomly

FAHmon 2.3.4 SVN 478

I had problems with the regular version of FAHmon crashing and lagging.

Fahmon 2.3.4 SVN 478 for monitoring 8 clients ,17,875-24,300PDD depending on WU's.
(will be more soon hopefully)

Have tried FahSpy but sometimes had issues with VM,s not being recognised other than that it was an ok program too!

FAHmon 2.3.4 SVN 478

I had problems with the regular version of FAHmon crashing and lagging.

diddo, SVN 478 has a checkbox for "Client is on a virtual machine" if you select it, the client will be green 99% of the time, even if it isn't actually on a virtual machine.

FAHmon for me, but I`m only monitoring 5-6 clients, and I can`t say I`ve had any real issues

Fahmon 2.3.2b, but not without daily crashes and regular failure to autoload the clients on XP x64. Giving all VMs static IPs seems to reduce the crashing. Clicking on the client and selecting reload selection is a workaround.
2.3.4 didn't work well at all, though some of the problems may well be fixed in the SVN 478 version. I found it taking more time to load the clients (about 50 clients) than the auto reload settings (5 min) and taking up 100% of the cpu cycles of one core while loading.

I had used Fahmon until I noticed it was using one entire core on my dual core laptop. Then I found it was using one of my four cores on another machine, so off it came. Using Fahspy now...seems to work well.

Fahmon 2.3.4 SVN 478 - currently monitoring 14 clients, will be back to full speed 17~18 clients soon.

- Anything beyond v2.3.2b (or the v2.3.3svn build I was using) seems to load the clients very slowly...

- Also, both the above versions crashed quite regularly. The 2.3.4 SVN 478 seems to have fixed that issue.

That's been fixed in the SVN builds with the VM monitoring option.

That's also been fixed in SVN builds.

FahMon SVN 487. (http://d.furzen.biz/fahmonsvnbuilds/fahmon-svn487-full.zip)
FahMon SVN Updated Files (http://d.furzen.biz/fahmonsvnbuilds/fahmon-svn487-update.zip)

Some changes since 478:

Changed FAHlog parse limit to 16KiB (requested by bollix47)
Fixed missing core->client filter
Fixed reload status being needlessly checked on auto-refreshes which don't require it
Added tooltips to various gui elements
Fixed inet reloads leaving tons of junk behind after reloads
Fixed disabled clients still having progress set


All changes here (http://trac.fahmon.net/timeline)

Should I make a thread for these? I usually rebuild them after he makes some fixes and stuff, which seems to be on the weekends.

Thanks for the updated SVN 487.

Updated mine to 487. Thanks for increasing the FAHlog size. Sometimes it's useful to be able to look back a little further in the file.

I would definitely like to see the SVN updates posted, but instead of creating a separate thread for the updates, maybe we could just add them to one of the stickies.

The current version is 502 so UF has been busy lately. I tried my hand at compiling it, but lost patience after a screw up. 487 will have to do for now. POF, thanks for the link.

Just to make sure it's clear, uncle_fungus did it, not me. I just compiled it ;)

here is 502 (http://d.furzen.biz/fahmonsvnbuilds/fahmon-svn502-full.zip). I need to clean up my svn directory so I can include the language files and stuff. This should work fine, but there've been updates to some stuff that I haven't included, because I have a huge mess.

I had forgotten about EMIII, used to use it exclusively for monitoring clients.

I use fahmon presently.

Does anybody know of a monitoring program that'll keep track of ALL WU's, including the run, clone, gen? FahChart kinda seemed to have done it, but it won't read new log files.

I attempted to make a perl script to calculate the min, max and avg PPD for each PRCG and output that to a csv file, but I'm really not good at programming / scripting of any kind. I couldn't even figure out how to determine the amount of time it took for each frame :(. It'd be nice for keeping a "database" of benchmarks automatically. I find it really hard that somebody hasn't done this already.

If POF wants to continue providing us with SVN updates, that's exactly what I'd like him to do- create a new thread just for that. Then I can link to it from the Intro (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=574026) and FAQ (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=574029) stickies.

FaHMon tracks such things in its database.

not quite as detailed as I'd like. Obviously I use FahMon and am pretty familiar with it. It doesn't keep info for each PRCG, nor does it have an option to export the benchmarks, so keeping track of them is a PITA. I tried changing FahMon, but I get so confused by object oriented programming ;). The best I could do was make all the benchmarks comma separated so I could paste them into an excel sheet better.

I basically want to take every PRCG ever mentioned in my FAHLog, calculate as much from it as possible, then output it to a csv file. So far I've only managed to figure out how to find each unique PRCG and put it into a csv file, haha.
