logfile edits not showing in charts

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

logfile edits not showing in charts

Post by MuntyWeather »

Here's a strange one. I recently had a (single) dropout ( perhaps a telemetry failure). I identified this from 'Recent data' plot and found the offending entry in the logfile and edited to reasonable values (and saved). The 'Records' are now correct (the dropout gave zero values which would have screwed them up), but the charts still show the erroneous values. What's going on?

CMX caches 1 minute data in the cumulsmx.db database file. If you stop CMX, delete that file and restart, the database will be reconstructed from your (edited) log file(s).

You will of course lose the 1 minute data if your log interval is longer than that.

An alternative if you feel up to it is to stop CMX, then edit the data in the cumulusmx.db file using a SQLite client. Then restarting CMX.
