Re: MQTT retain flag not applied

I see I've made a typo in the mqtt file instead of "retain": true I've used "retain": "true". I don't know if that causes the problem.
Second the MQTT Explorer only shows the retain flag when the client subscribes after the initial publish.

MQTT retain flag not applied

Cumulus MX 3.28.6 b3283
I've created a custom mqtt upload file. If I add the property "retain": true to the topic the value is not published with a retained flag. I've restarted CumulusMX after the change and checked this with MQTT Explorer.

Re: WLL Health: WeatherLink API Error: 403

It does, but going through a couple thousand messages and changing them isn't a trivial task! Don't expect anything soon. Ok, I understand from your answer there is no separate function/parameter for errors and warnings already. So indeed that will be a lot of work. Everything is working fine so th...

That's good news. I'll test it with the following beta version.

Re: WLL Health: WeatherLink API Error: 403

I haven't checked, but it probably is a warning? Or have you also changed the logging level? No I didn't change the warning level. If it is a warning it shouldn't be in the <#lasterror> webtag. I have tested it again but now another messaage is shown which overwrites the first message. It is possib...

Re: WLL Health: WeatherLink API Error: 403

I've removed the API keys. Now after a restart a message is shown in the MXdiag file. That's fine for me but the webtag <#lastesterror> still shows an error: "WLL - No WeatherLink.com API configuration supplied, just going to work locally". For me this is not an error but more a warning.

Re: Weatherflow Tempest and logging

Which version of MX? Build 3283. I looked into the code and it seems the packets are printed with Debug.WriteLine in TempestStation.cs. private static void _udpListener_PacketReceived(object sender, PacketReceivedArgs e) { if (e.Packet.Length > 0) { var s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Packet); Debug...

Weatherflow Tempest and logging

In the MXdiag log file I see all the UDP packets (e.g. rapid_wind and hub_status). Nice for debugging but they create much bigger log files. They have a different layout compared to the normal Cumulus MX logging. Is it possible to disable the logging of those UDP packets? Example: {"serial_numb...

Re: Strange behavior of logging options

I'm talking about the latest 3.28.6 (build 3283) from today.
I have two instances with different weatherstations running as a service. Both have the same issue.

Strange behavior of logging options

I noted the logging was enabled. So I wanted to disable the logging. I disabled under Program Settings, Logging Options: Debug logging and Data logging and pressed the Save button. Everything seems to work fine now. But after I restarted Cumulus MX both options are enabled again. In the Cumulus.ini ...
