I have no concern from the code point of view, is there any linked Jira URL for this new feature? Is there any reason we must provide the miner version info during the allocation action?

[thomas-chu123]

I have cherry picked the change and merged it with release/1.8.0 and the allocation did show the miner version.

[mo0haned]

You are right. this isn't tracked on Jira. it was based on a conversation on Slack. I created the ticket CZN-571 for this.

@thomas-chu123 Currently, the dashboard calls the check miner function once an hour to retrieve the version. Mohaned raised a valid point: if an allocation happens just after the cron job runs, it will take up to an hour for the user to see the 'SSH' button in the browser. By including the miner version in the allocation process, users will be able to see the button immediately after the allocation.

[thomas-chu123]

So, the dashboard will adopt PR#275 rather than PR#280 since the miner check function endpoint will not be used.

[mo0haned]

both will be used. this one will be used as an immediate response. but in the future, we might make an update and we need to check the miners who are already allocated. for that, we should use the check miner status endpoint
