Some data vanished from monthly records!

Post by Johnny25 »

Not sure what has happened here!

The Monthly Records have some data missing, both on the web page and Log Values.

The data in question is:
Highest/Lowest dew point
Highest/Lowest daily range
Longest dry/wet period
Highest daily wind run

I've been into the monthly all time record editor and copied the data but still no luck. Checking the monthlyalltime.ini the above data is clearly missing??

Do I now need to manually copy the correct data to the monthlyalltime.ini file or is there a quicker way.

Thanks
Johnny

The only way I can think of for that to have happened is for the monthlyalltime.ini file to have become corrupted. Depending on when it happened, there may still be a good backup in one of the Cumulus folders. Ideally you would be taking proper regular backups anyway. Having looked at your web page, I think perhaps you didn't initialise those items in the first place. You may need to use a combination of the data fetched from the log files and the data fetched from dayfile.txt to initialise everything.

What do you mean by this:
I've been into the monthly all time record editor and copied the data but still no luck.
What happens when you do a 'fetch dayfile data' and a 'fetch log data'?

Steve, thanks for the reply.

Everything appears ok when I fetch the dayfile data, but the Log data seems corrupt i.e data missing.

I've now copied the dayfile data which has populated the missing data from the monthly records.

Unfortunately the PC used for Cumulus is the family PC and gets used for playing games, downloads etc etc, so I'd imagine the data has been corrupted at some point.
