How are the key metrics calculated?
What are the main statistics and how do I use them to understand the health of my site?
There are three key metrics available in OptiFleet:
Site Utliization
Helps you understand how much of your site is in use, and how many empty slots (positions) are so you can fill them. Empty slots represent missed hashrate. Site Utiliization deals with two things:
- First of all, how many slots (posiitions) do you have available at your site, and how many of them are in use with hashing machines in them? Any slots that aren't filled with a hashing miner represents an opportunity cost - hashrate you are not able to produce at this time.
- Secondly, how many machines do you have in slots that are unassigned, which means they don't have a specific location, and therefore OptiFleet doesn't know where that miner is, even if it's hashing. This affects the ability to locate that miner quickly for repair, and prevents curtailment of any unassigned miners.
Here's how it's calculated:
- How many slots exist in the facility? This is set up when you establish the site in OptiFleet, and can be edited as needed.
- How many spaces have a working miner in them?
- If you have 100 spaces but only 95 working miners in those spaces, the site utilization is 95%
- Miners must be mapped to a slot in order to be counted in uptime. If they don't have a location, they may be hashing but will not be counted towards total uptime.
Uptime
Uptime tells you how many miners are currently hashing vs. the potential active miners on the site. Helps you understand the % of miners that are hashing, so you can make improvements as needed.
- How many miners are currently hashing above 0?
- How many miners are on the system as Active?
- If there are 100 miners that are seen as Active by the system, but only 80 of them are producing hashrate, current uptime is 80%.
This is based on a current snapshot, at any given time. It doesn't represent an average over time. (Coming soon: a time selector so you can see uptime averaged over a selected time period.)
Hash Rate Efficiency
This is a metric that shows you the average efficiency of the miners that are hashing.
- What is the aggregate efficiency of all of the miners running? Non-hashing miners are not included here.
- You can use one of two stats to determine the total possible efficiency of the facility.
- Rated hash rate: aggregates the manufacturer's rated hashrate for all the hashing miners as the potential hash rate.
- Target hash rate: where available, an average hash rate can be pulled from the miner firmware. This number better accounts for factors that may be affecting the miners, such as over- or under-clocking, low or high ambient temperatures, etc. It sets the potential to a more realistic level based on how the miner is actually running.
- Hash Rate Efficiency is the % of actual hashrate of the active miners against a potential hashrate to give you a metric for how well the site is operatoing.
