Agents

An agent is a key component of the HashCore Pulse infrastructure. It's a local application installed on a computer or server on the same network as the miners, which scans the network, collects metrics, and executes user commands.

Creating an Agent

Before installing the application, you need to create an agent in the Pulse interface — this will generate connection credentials.

Go to the Agents section of the desired site
Click + New Agent
Enter the agent name — use a descriptive name reflecting its purpose or location (e.g., "Main DC", "Rack A-B", "Subnet 192.168.10.x"). Maximum 24 characters
Click Create
A window with credentials will open: Agent ID and Agent Secret
Copy both values — you'll need them during agent installation and configuration
Download the installer for your OS: Windows (.exe) or Linux x64 (.tar.gz)

Agent ID and Agent Secret can be retrieved at any time via the agent context menu → Show Credentials. Keep the Agent Secret in a secure location.

Post-Installation Agent Setup

After installation, the agent will automatically connect to the HashCore cloud using the specified Agent ID and Agent Secret. The agent's status in the list will change to Online (green indicator).

Agent List

The Agents section of the site displays a table of all agents with their parameters:

Column	Description
Name	Agent name
Status	Online (green) / Offline (red) / Paused (gray)
Mode	Full Control or Monitoring Only
Version	Installed agent version
Discovered	Number of discovered devices on the network
Online	Number of online devices out of discovered
Scan Tasks	Number of active scan tasks

Agent Context Menu

Click ⋯ next to an agent to access operations:

Action	Description
Show Credentials	View Agent ID and Agent Secret
Edit	Change agent name
Change mode	Switch between Full Control and Monitoring Only
Pause / Resume	Temporarily pause and resume agent operation
Diagnostic report	Generate an agent diagnostics archive
Delete	Delete the agent

Agent Auto-Update

The agent updates automatically — it checks for a new version on startup and every 4 hours. The update happens in the background without user intervention and without interrupting metrics collection. The current agent version is always visible in the agent list.

Cooling Management

Cooling configuration (Thermal config) for a single device or a group. Only available for devices with HashCore Firmware.

Agent Operation Modes

The agent supports several operation modes. The mode determines what actions the agent can perform beyond collecting metrics.
