Cumulus Archive Data
Hi there,
Apparently, according to weather underground I started using Cumulus on 22/09/2011. However, my data files show the data starting 25/09/2011 11:05. This is a little confusing as I must have had Cumulus running to send data weather underground.
I have also clicked 'Create Missing' in the dayfile.txt editor. But, I get the result 'Number of entries inserted: 0'.
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance,
William

Re: Cumulus Archive Data
You tried Cumulus for a few days, decided to reset something and started from scratch rather than edit the old data?

Re: Cumulus Archive Data
Hi There,
Not sure if this will help. But....
This is what I have found today when attempting inject new data into the dayfile.
I had created an Excel formula to create the App Temp and Heat Index entries on my old data, previous to using Cumulus. (old software didn't create them)(Heat Index is a long story in itself.. for another time...)
Anyway, modified the old log data files and ran the "create missing" in the day file editor in cumulus. To my surprise it didn't take the additions of data.
So since I had installed Cumulus on another computer (that didn't have a station connected to it) I though well I will test creating a new dayfile.txt (theory being if it went horribly wrong then all is Ok as this is a copy of all data).
so create a blank text document and named it "dayfile.txt". Opened Cumulus, it complained as expected. Ran the command to create missing.
Well the result was great!
It pulled in all the additions fine. But it took a while to do it.
So to do the same on the live system. (hesitating a little bit...)
Backed up everything first... Just in case...
Same process of:
Close cumulus
Make new blank file dayfile
Open cumulus
Create missing
So all up I am a happy man.

Hi Barry,
No, I tried that.
What do you mean by 'same process'?

Re: Cumulus Archive Data
Ah, I see what you mean now. No, no new entries created except the ones from before.

Re: Cumulus Archive Data
Hi There,
Well my endeavor has not been so successful after all either.
I have for the time being reverted back to my original day file.
All was working great until I tried to use the editors that read the day file in Cumulus.
I get the error of "9/02/2014 10:06:12 PM : Error in dayfile.txt on line 1: '' is not a valid floating point value"
On searching the forums I see it is complaining of empty fields. In my case the error is not a " but rather a 'no_data'
That is the bit in between the ' and ' is null and not a value of say zero
Found that over here https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... oint+value
Tis a shame as it makes the new beta of "Another day file reader PHP" work really well with "null" fields for when I didn't have the equipment to measure earlier.

Re: Cumulus Archive Data
Barry, do you mean that a dayfile.txt entry created with 'create missing' in the Cumulus dayfile.txt editor causes Cumulus to give that error message at start up (or elsewhere)?
