Logging Antminer Statuses

Question

How does one log all an Antminer's statistics (temperature, hashrate, etc.) to a file?

I can log in to an Antminer via SSH, so I should be able to turn on some option for cgminer to log everything, no?

It seems like it would just be a matter of redirecting the output to a file, right? Or is there something I'm missing? — Nick ODell, Apr 17 '15 at 4:31
@NickODell Yes, but it's complicated by its being a daemon… And I'm not even sure cgminer logs temperature or anything else outside the the "Pools" pane of the "Miner Status" page. Maybe I should look into the webserver and see where it's getting the data. — Geremia, Apr 17 '15 at 6:06

I looked at /www/pages/cgi-bin/minerStatus.cgi, and it parses

cgminer-api -o
cgminer-api -o pools
cgminer-api -o stats

But what is cgminer-api, and where can I find it? I found some Ruby API on GitHub, but that doesn't seem to be the same as the cgminer-api executable on AntMiners. – Geremia Apr 17 '15 at 6:52

It's compiled from here, but those three commands draw data from github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/…, github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/…, and github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/…. – Nick ODell Apr 17 '15 at 8:01
@NickODell: Thank you. Now I can compile it and run it as a cronjob to make periodic logs. – Geremia Apr 17 '15 at 20:15
