Installing the Agent on Windows

Preparation in HashCore Cloud

In this step, we will create an agent profile and set parameters for finding miners on your network.

1. Log in to the HashCore Pulse control panel.
2. In the left menu, select Agents and click + New Agent.
3. Enter an agent name (e.g., Main_Site) and click Create.
4. In the window that appears, click the Windows icon to download the installation file.
5. Be sure to copy and save the Agent ID and Agent Secret (if you closed the window, you can find them by clicking the three dots next to the agent → Show Credentials).
6. Click on the name of the created agent and click + New Task to configure scanning:
   • Task name: task name (e.g., Main Network Scan).
   • IP Range: click + Add IP range and specify your network range (e.g., 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255).
   • Unlock Configs: fill in this tab if you are using custom firmware (Vnish, Bitmain, etc.), specifying passwords for ASIC access (e.g., admin or root).
7. Click Create. The cloud is ready!

Installing the Agent on Windows

Now, let's install the application that will connect your devices to the cloud.

1. Run the downloaded installation file.
2. During installation, enter the Agent ID and Secret key that you saved in the first step.
3. Wait for the installation to complete. (By default, the program is installed in the folder C:\Program Files\Hashcore\Pulse**).

Agent Management and Local Statistics

1. Management via System Tray: When Pulse Agent is running, its icon appears in the system tray (in the lower right corner of the screen). Clicking on it will open the management menu. The appearance of the menu and the color of the icon depend on the current state of the program:

Green Icon (Pulse Agent: Running)

This means the agent is active and scanning the network. When clicked, the following are available:

• Stop Service — completely stop the agent's operation.
• Restart Service — quick restart of the program (needed if you changed settings).
• Dashboard & Settings — navigate to http://localhost:4030 in your browser to view settings or logs.
• About — view program version information.

Gray Icon (Pulse Agent Service: Stopped)

This means the program is running, but miner discovery is stopped. When clicked, the following are available:

• Start Service — start the scanning and data transmission process to the cloud.
• Dashboard & Settings — navigate to http://localhost:4030 in your browser to view settings or logs.
• About — view program version information.

2. Local Statistics (Dashboard & Settings): If you click Dashboard & Settings in the icon menu, a page with all detailed data about the agent's operation will open in your browser:

• Credentials — here you can link another agent by changing the Agent ID and Secret key.
• uptime — continuous program operation time (in seconds).
• time — current date and time.
• version — installed Pulse Agent version.
• monitor_status — monitoring status (enabled — on, disabled — off).
• connection_status — cloud connection (statuses: connected, initializing, domainNotAvailable, notAuthorized, internalError). For operation, the status must be connected.
• agent_id — unique agent ID currently connected.
• worker_threads — number of parallel scanning threads.
• total — total number of IP addresses currently being checked.
• found_miners — number of found miners, categorized by firmware types (vnish, bitmain, and whats).
• last_metric_submit — data on the last submission to the cloud:
  • elapsed_secs — how many seconds have passed since the last submission.
  • metrics_count — number of metrics submitted.
• ip_ranges — IP address ranges that the agent received from the cloud for scanning.

Verifying Data in the Cloud

Let's ensure that information from your devices is successfully reaching the server.

1. Go to pulse.hashcore.com.
2. Open the Dashboard section: hashrate graphs and the device counter (Workers) should display current data.
3. Go to the Workers section: a list of all found miners will appear here. Detailed information will be available for each device: IP address, hashrate, temperature, power consumption, fan operation, and firmware version.
