Well its been almost a year since BoincSpy has changed. Here are the changes:

What's New

  • Add BOINC version checking for BoincSpy application(s). We must have a minimum BOINC version before these apps will run. For this release its 5.10.24
  • Beta version of BoincSpy.Farm.

    • Viewer application(s).
    • Allows users to view information on BOINC from different computers including Linux and Macs using Mono .
    • See \\BoincSpy\\Farm\\BoincSpy.Farm_setup.htm to configure and install.

     



What's Fixed


  • BOINC had made changes to RPC that caused all BoincSpy apps to crash. This is now fixed



BoincSpy 1.7 can be found at here

Nice program.

Couple of points: -

Does it have to be installed on all computers on the "farm" for it to work?

Have done as suggested & changed the IP addresses where required, but it does not run.

It is already included. It shows up on the progress page.

@BoincSpy

When logging is enabled, either in MYSQL or SetiSpy formats, skymap comes up with unhandled exceptions. Is this a bug or a problem at my end?

Hi Sirius,

A couple of things:

Boincspy.Farm.

Does the boinspy.farm.viewer launch? if so i the boincspy.farm.publisher program displaying any errors on the command line window. I have found that in most cases the issues are around windows firewall preventing the applications from talking to each other..As a quick test you may want to display the firewal to see if that is the issue. If there are any errors please take a snapshot of them and email them to me... boinc_spy@telus.net

Only the publisher and BoincSpyGacInstall.msi need to be on the boxes that you want to monitor.

Displaying SkyMap

Can you send me a screen shot of the error please.

Thanks.

OK! I'll change that to - "why doesn't it display for me"?
What I mean specifically, is the Workunit Statistics

It's in the settings. When you enable logging, wu stats start. This is what I did, but experienced the skymap problem.

@ BoincSpy

The farm viewer does not launch. A Windows error box pops up with unhandled exceptions.

Will do as you suggested & take screenshots of all events & e-mail you. Thanks for the reply, as I find BoincSpy a pretty nifty program.

Nice work!!!

Regards

In that case, it looks like there are several bugs in the program.

I hope that BoincSpy can sort them out as it's a great program.

My main system which has 5.10.24 & BioncSpy wil be tied up for a couple of days & when back to normal will run both so that I can grab screenshots when they go down.

Then will e-mail them to BoincSpy so that he can sort the problems out.

Until then we will have to be patient but from what I see of the program, it will be worth it.

Hi PG,

I have had the BOINCSpy application hang with BOINC 5.10.24 as well. I did not change the interface to the GUI-RPC it been stable for a couple of years, I will be investigating in the next couple of days...

@ BoincSpy

Currently on Boinc, when using BoincStats my world position states 94,172 & country position 6,420

Using boincStats through Boinc states 53,198 & 3,210.

Which one is correct?

Also, how are you getting on with the program hanging?
