Adding Devices
Devices in HashCore Pulse are not added manually — they are automatically discovered by the agent during network scanning. This section explains how to manage this process and what to do if devices do not appear.
How Devices Appear in Pulse
Once the agent is running and a scan task is configured, the agent periodically checks all IP addresses within the specified ranges. Upon detecting an ASIC device, it automatically appears in the Workers section and begins transmitting metrics.
The average time from agent startup to the appearance of the first devices is 2–5 minutes.
Configuring IP Scan Ranges
For the agent to find your devices, you need to correctly set the scan ranges in the Scan Task.
- Go to Agents → select the desired agent
- Open the Scan Tasks tab → select a task or create a new one
- In the Network ranges section, click + Add range
- Specify the start and end IP address of the range
- Click Save Tips for configuring ranges:
- If devices are split across multiple subnets — add a separate range for each
- For a large number of ranges, use Import — upload a list from a TXT, CSV, or JSON file
- If the list of addresses is large and fragmented — use the Aggregate IP button to automatically combine them into compact ranges
Unlocking Devices
Some devices are protected by non-standard passwords and require authorization before the agent can retrieve metrics from them. If devices are detected but not transmitting data — configure Unlock Configs.
- Open the desired Scan Task
- Go to the Unlock Configs tab
- Add credentials for each firmware type:
- HashCore — password
- Bitmain — login and password (default
root/root)
- Click Save
Supported Devices
Pulse automatically determines the firmware type and manufacturer. Supported devices include:
| Manufacturer | Series |
|---|---|
| Bitmain | Antminer S, T, L, D, Z and others |
| MicroBT | Whatsminer M-series |
| Canaan | Avalon series |
| Innosilicon | T, A series |
| HashCore Firmware | Devices running HashCore firmware (formerly Vnish) |
Devices with unknown firmware or manufacturers are logged but not added to the Workers list.
Device Not Appearing in the List
If a device does not appear in Workers within 10 minutes — check the following:
- IP Range — ensure the device's address falls within the specified scan range
- Network — the agent and the device must be on the same local network
- Agent Status — the agent must be Online (green indicator in the agent list)
- Unlock Configs — if the device is password-protected, add credentials in the Scan Task settings
- Scan Task — ensure the Scan Task is enabled (Enabled status)
Connecting the First Site
A Site is the primary organizational unit in HashCore Pulse. All agents, devices, and metrics are tied to a specific Site. Before connecting an agent and devices, you must create a Site.
First Monitoring
Once the agent is running and devices are discovered, HashCore Pulse begins collecting and displaying real-time data. This section explains what you will see and what to pay attention to first.
