How to configure pools and Watcher Link

Learn how to add a pool to a device, set up stratums and workers, connect a Watcher Link and switch between active and backup pools.

Pools are configured per device, in the device card. A Watcher Link lets the platform pull metrics from the pool side and compare them against what the farm reports.

How to add a pool

  1. Open the device card and go to the Pools tab.
    ​

  2. Fill in the stratums, specify the pool and the worker name.

Backup pools

When several pools are added, the later ones become backups. Toggling the status swaps the active and the backup pool. This may help you continue working if you have problems with your primary connection.

Available pool actions

For each pool you can edit the stratum, update the Watcher Link, restart it or delete it. The toggle in the status field can also be used to switch a pool off.

Once your pools are configured, you can track events and set up notifications.

Important:

​

Any remote changes to equipment settings, including adding new pools, changing stratums, and restarting, as well as granting third parties access to remote monitoring via Watcher Link, are done by the owner and their employees at their own responsibility.
