As the title states is there any way i can monitor warded jars and automatically refill them with computercraft and not use a turtle or config changes(im on a server that i cant change any configs). I'm using thaumcraft 4.1.0.g and thaumic tinkerer 2.3-140 and also the ftb monster pack 1.1.2. thank you for your time and any help!
Need help with thaumcraft essentia automation.

the openblocks proxy peripheral lets you attach a wired modem to the block and you can use that to find the level inside the jar
If the version of logistics pipes and openblocks is the same as the dW20 pack then the short answer is no. There is an updated + a config change that needs to be made to get the computer craft to talk to logistics pipe. I wound up using a turtle because of this issue. However, I do have mine setup to one click auto fill all of the jars. If you want I can post more details and the pastebins.
you can use another way to grab the mana beans (pre sorted in a chest; 7 interfaces with the export configs and use the IInventory chest's push item from slot functionality)
Give me a few hours to get some pics together and I'll post a basic guide on how I set it up. The code is from DW20 but I have modified it so that it would do the one click re-fill and the turtle will actually wait for the logistics pipes if there isn't enough mana beans in the pull chest. Oh, I also modified the code so if a jar is empty it will show on the screen as 0 instead of having the program crash.
Stay tuned.... more details to come.

OK, so my setup is rather complex but I'll try my best to walk you through everything. I'm going to spoiler all of the images.
This first image shows the screen with the "Fill All" button plus my altar.
This next image show the rest of the main thaumcraft room. If you look at the top of the screen you will see all of my aspect jars.
A better view of my aspects jars looking up.
This is what is underneath my altar to give it stability
This picture is upstairs next to my aspect jars. The cable going down attaches to the monitors you saw in the 1st picture.
This next one shows the setup of the aspect jars. The jars are spaced one above the glass floor. The golems have no problem reaching them and there is nothing blocking their movement. So no glitchy jumping up and down.
Now for the technical stuff. The ME network stores all of the mana beans. On the far side of the network controller is an ME interface connected to a logistics pipes provider. There is nothing configured on the ME interface. It is used by the logistics pipes so they can access all of the mana beans.
The chest below the turtle has two of the supplier logistics pipes connected to it. These are used to feed 18 types of the mana beans into the chest. Behind the chest is a transvector interface. It is connected to four more of the supplier pipes and bound to the chest in front of it.
Between the top and bottom chests is the turtle pointed at the aspectalyzer. It will pull mana beans from the bottom chest analyze them using the aspectalyzer. Then when commanded via the wireless modem it will pull beans and place them in the chest above. The itemducts then push the mana beans to the alchemical furnace.
A picture that shows the transvector interface behind the lower chest. It also has a better shot of the ME network.
This last pic show one of the supplier pipes.
So the next part you need is the pastebins for the code. So here you go.

The basic requirement is that all 51 types of mana beans are in that bottom gold chest and that a certain quantity is maintained in that chest. In my setup I keep 32 of each. So the logistics pipes have the ability to access the ME network and pull the items from it. For this to happen you must connect a logistics provider pipe to a ME interface. Don't configure anything in the interface just connect it. Use basic logistics pipes to connect that pipe to the others (doesn't matter if there is loops and "T" connection). Then use logistics supplier pipes connected to the bottom chest and the transvector interface. Each of those supplier pipes can provide for 9 types of mana beans each. So 51 type of mana beans divided by 9 means you will need 6 supplier pipes. In my screen shots above I have two connected directly to the chest. The other four are connected the transvector interface behind that chest. Use a cresent hammer to access the GUI on the supplier pipes. Set it for "Partial" and put in the amount of mana beans you want kept stocked in that chest. When you are done the chest should have 51 types of mana beans in it and if you take any out the pipes should replace them. Oh, one last thing, don't forget to link the transvector interface to the bottom chest.
If you still need some more help contact me on TS3 between 7PM & 11PM EST (GMT-4). The teamspeak server is jesus2xs.com. After talking with you I'll probably whitelist you on my server so you can see the full setup.

That is interesting, I designed the turtle to wait until it did have enough beans before passing them the to chest. What is the issue you are seeing?
you still only have 9 slots for maintaining the supply, I think a ME chest could also work and keeping the supply of it outside of it (or just dump them all in)
