Swarm Menu
The Swarm menu in NM Monitor lets you see and manage every NMMiner on the same LAN from a single browser page, with zero installation.
A single /24 subnet can host up to 255 devices discoverable through Swarm — easily enough for a serious home / lab deployment.
How it works (user view)
- You open NM Monitor on any one miner (or any device that can reach the LAN).
- The Swarm menu performs a fast LAN sweep.
- Every reachable NMMiner shows up as a row.
- NM Monitor sums their hashrates, lists their pools, and lets you ping each one.
The browser does the aggregation — no central server, no cloud, no account.
What the Swarm table shows
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Hostname | The miner s hostname (you set this on the Network page). |
| IP | The miner s LAN IP. |
| Version | Firmware version reported by the miner. |
| Hashrate | Current hashrate in H/s. |
| Session Best | Best share difficulty since the miner last booted. |
| Ever Best | Best share difficulty across all sessions. |
| Uptime | Seconds since boot. |
| Find | A button that flashes the miner s screen + LED so you can physically locate it. |
A footer row sums up the entire swarm s hashrate so you can see your total LAN hashrate at a glance. While a scan is running, NM Monitor also shows a progress bar (added in v2.0.03).
Common tasks
Find a specific miner physically
- Open Swarm.
- Click the Find button on the target row.
- The selected miner flashes its screen and LED for a few seconds — walk over and grab it.
This is just a single HTTP call (POST /api/swarm/find) — you can also trigger it from your own scripts.
Compare miners at a glance
Sort the table by Hashrate, Session Best or Uptime to see which board is performing best.
Re-scan the LAN
The Swarm menu refreshes on its own when you open it. To force an immediate re-scan, leave the menu and come back, or reload the page.
