How to upgrade your Cumulus MX to a newer version https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=148477#p148477 Is this still applicable / recommended for MX v3.10+? https://cumuluswiki.org/a/Updating_MX_to_new_version (still) points here. https://cumuluswiki.org/a/New_Default_Web_Site_Information d...

Packaging / Distro Thought Regarding webfiles-legacy

I suspect, in time, there will be very few people using webfiles-legacy. For the sake of reducing the number of folders in the distro, and overall size, would it make sense to zip webfiles-legacy ... a zip within a zip?

Cheers,
Bob

Single Purpose Directories / Folders

First, I confess I've net yet broached crossing into Release 3.10.0 - build 3115. So I apologize if this is now moot... Part of my reservation in updating stems from not fully understanding the purpose of each folder. Let me add to that my use of rsync via ssh - because that's turned out to be the m...

Re: Option to *Append* to ServiceConsoleLog.txt

Mark- Yeah, your point is well taken. I did investigate 2 things quickly. The same information may be in both logs - perhaps using different terms. I didn't find exact parity, but close enough. I still see value in the ServiceConsoleLog.txt**, which I've made available from the admin dashboard in my...

Re: Cumulus MX Software Upgrade Available Check Feature

OK, the default is zero, so the alarm will be cleared after a maximum of 10 minutes. It looks like you managed to catch it within one of those windows - after the daily check. Not sure what your plan is going forward, but I'd gently lobby for a default of 24 for that particular alarm. I've messed m...

Re: Cumulus MX Update Helper Script

Re: Cumulus MX Software Upgrade Available Check Feature

One last report ... Yesterday I reset the alarm interval to 24 (and saved). Sometime after the latest version message showed up in ServiceConsoleLog.txt just before noon, the indicator did trip as expected. I think I would want it to latch until the software is updated so I believe the settings show...

Thanks Mark! As an old dude with a sometime sketchy memory :oops: my first thought was that it was me! :bash:

Startup/Shutdown External Programs

I like the idea of the new "Program settings", and this might be thought of as a generalization of that. If available, I would take advantage of the ability to run some code when Cumulus starts, and when it shuts down. I was reminded of this in writing out https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/vie...

Option to *Append* to ServiceConsoleLog.txt

No doubt this is a personal preference, but in almost all the code I write log files are only ever appended to. The "pruning" of the logs is a separate operation; sometime built in, sometimes external like Unix logrotate (https://linux.die.net/man/8/logrotate). That preference comes out of...

Re: Cumulus MX Software Upgrade Available Check Feature

So this is a little odd. I restarted CMX (several times now) and it appears that it resets the Latch hours to 0. When I look at the ini file it appears to still have 24. 20210114_202652_Alarm_Settings.jpg The last few backups shows it was set to 24 $ grep UpgradeAlarmHours backup/20210114*/Cumulus.i...

Re: Cumulus MX Software Upgrade Available Check Feature

Yes, if you get that message, the next thing it does in the code is trigger the alarm. Could you screen shot your alarm settings page as well please. 20210114_192650_Alarm_Settings.jpg So if I follow this, setting the latch time to 0 would effectively disable the alarm. So I tried setting the inter...

Re: Cumulus MX Software Upgrade Available Check Feature

On start-up, and once a day at a random time for each run of MX. Mark, would you expect the indicator to trip around the time a message gets written to ServiceConsoleLog.txt? It's coming up on 3 hours since the log message and the indicator is still green. I've flushed cache and tried several diffe...
