Getting Troubleshooting information is as easy as running the
helpme
command in PiMP terminal. This will run through common hardware and software diagnostics for a moment. At the end it will provide you a URL to our secure helpme server running the PIMP Troubleshooter. This does not have any key or sensitive information and can safely be shared with support and other PiMPs so they can help you. Please do this before submitting your post.Logging

Cloud Pasting
is also available when you are trying to show other PiMPs the output of your command or contents of a text file.
We have two pasting commands available:
showme
andpastebinit
. For more details, check out the commands topic.Here are some examples of cloud pasting in PiMP:
Paste the sgminer.eth.conf file to the cloud:
Preferred:
showme /opt/confs/sgminer.eth.conf
You could also use:
cat /opt/confs/sgminer.eth.conf | pastebinit
Paste the output of pimp --debug command to the cloud:
pimp --debug | pastebinit
helpme
the
helpme
tool is a script that queries your hardware and software for information. This information is then uploaded securely to the PiMP Troubleshooter, another web app from the PiMP family. This will give you all of the information about your system that you need to troubleshoot problems. You can then provide the helpme URL to the page that was uploaded so that your fellow PiMPs can take a look and help you solve your issues.- Type helpme into the terminal on a PiMP rig.
- Copy the helpme URL from the terminal. (Control-Insert works on most terminals.)
- Paste the helpme URL into your browser and/or the live chat so you can get support.
- Now you can use the PiMP Troubleshooter app to view all of the information about your rig’s hardware, GPUs, PiMP and minerfarm software, services, configurations, logs and status.
Step 5: Find the information that leads you to fix a problem so you can get back to mining.
