Quick Start

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 don't appear.

How Devices Appear in Pulse

Once the agent is running and a scan task is configured, the agent periodically checks all IP addresses in the specified ranges. When an ASIC device is discovered, it automatically appears in the Workers section and starts transmitting metrics.

Average time from agent launch to first devices appearing: 2–5 minutes.

Configuring IP Scan Ranges

For the agent to find your devices, you need to properly 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 addresses of the range
Click Save

Tips for configuring ranges:

If devices are spread 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 address list is large and scattered — use the Aggregate IP button to automatically merge them into compact ranges

Unlocking Devices

Some devices are protected with non-standard passwords and require authentication before the agent can retrieve metrics from them. If devices are discovered 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 Firmware (login/password), Bitmain (login/password)
Click Save

Supported Devices

Pulse automatically detects the firmware type and manufacturer. Supported: devices running HashCore Firmware, original Bitmain firmware, original MicroBT firmware, original Canaan firmware, original Innosilicon firmware.

Devices with unknown firmware or manufacturers are logged but not added to the Workers list.

Device Not Appearing in the List

If a device hasn't appeared in Workers within 10 minutes — check the following:

IP range — make sure 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 — make sure the Scan Task is enabled (Enabled status)

Connecting Your First Site

A Site is the primary organizational unit in HashCore Pulse. All agents, devices, and metrics are bound 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 data in real time. This section explains what you'll see and what to look for first.
