1. A method for managing a data center having a plurality of computing devices, the method comprising:
periodically reading and storing one or more status values for each of the plurality of computing devices;
determining if at least a subset of the computing devices are not sufficiently stable by calculating a Gini coefficient using at least a subset of the stored status values; and
generating a support ticket if the Gini coefficient exceeds a predetermined threshold and a support ticket has not already been generated for the computing devices corresponding to the Gini coefficient;
wherein the support ticket is not generated if the status values are hash rates, and a change in hash difficulty has recently occurred.
