Is there an app that shows all the WU's that a machine returned?

I'm looking to upgrade some of my RPI4B's to RPI5's. What I would like like to know is which RPi4B's had the most issues.

Is there an app that shows all the WU's, with status, that a specific CPUid has returned? If not, could one be created?

Closest I know about is
https://apps.foldingathome.org/cpu
but it only shows recent work (90 days).

So "cpuid" does appear to be in a database.

Unfortunately, that only shows the last WU returned for each machine. I need something that searches the WU database for all WU's returned by the machine, identified by it's CPUid.

There is no app supplied by F@h to search the database for all WUs associated with a user, let alone by CPUid. The closest they had was a report about 15 years ago that would return how many WUs from each project your username had completed. That report was removed around then, the load on the database server was just too high from the queries for that information.

It was left to 3rd party developers to provide client side apps to track WUs. Several different apps have been created over the years, the only one that I am aware of still being developed and supported is HFM.net. It will work with v7 folding clients and is available for Windows. It can connect to and monitor clients running on Linux and macOS. I don't know if work is going towards having it also work with v8 clients. There is a topic about it here on the forum - viewtopic.php?t=9903. The GitHub is located here - https://github.com/harlam357/hfm-net.

Some of the tracking functions are planned for inclusion in future versions of the v8 client, but I hav not been following that closely.

v8.4.4 alpha has a WU history tab.
It is aimed at the needs of people testing cores and benchmarking new projects.
I believe the plan is to show the 500 most recent WUs from each connected client.
If you want to try the alpha, it is possible it will show the info you want.

I am currently only seeing history for the local client, plus the current unit on a remote.

Example:

Code: Select all

Machine     Project  Core  OS  Status  Progress  TPF       PPD        Assign Time
Sanctuary7  18494    0xa8              100.0%    2m 12s    205,330    1d 16h ago
There is an info button for each WU which gives more detail.

Thanks Joe_H. I had completely forgotten about the Work Unit History Viewer tool in HFM.net. Thankfully, as I am using HFM.net, it has the WU history of all my machines. Problem solved. :D

I am waiting for HFM.net to work with version 8, before moving all my machines to that version.
