XMRig Monitor is an automated watchdog for XMRig crypto miners or proxies in Windows 10 environments. Its primary purpose is to maintain uptime on unstable systems and provide event logs when troubleshooting hardware optimization.
- Restarts XMRig executable in the event of an application crash
- Sends email notifications containing detailed logs of events
- Monitors CPU temperature metrics to correlate crash root cause
- Displays daily crash statistics
- Task Mode: Runs silently on boot in Windows Task Scheduler
- Proxy Mode: Monitors XMRig Proxy instead of XMRig
- Tango Mode: Links two miners together to monitor each other
The project currently exists as a set of Batch and Powershell scripts along with executables from the open source project OpenHardwareMonitor for CPU temperature monitoring. Scripts are currently tested on both Intel and AMD processors and should not require manipulation to deploy other than setting user-configurable options in the supplied config file. The project will remain exclusively for Windows 10 environments.
