Re: Another ftp issue
Ok, maybe this isn't actually an ftp issue. I've noticed the files aren't being ftp'ed to my server and assumed the problem was ftp.
But the trend data isn't showing correctly in the CumulusMX served webpage on my own internal network: This is the case for all the recent trend data - temperature, windspeed, pressure, rainfall, humidity etc, but the longer term data (daily rain, daily temp) is fine. I'm assuming these graphs are displayed from tempdata.json, raindata.json etc. These files are not being updated by CumulusMX on my Pi. I deleted them and new versions are not created. Could this be the problem, or is this a misunderstanding of how it work?
Thanks again,
Martin

Re: Another ftp issue
The admin interface uses a different mechanism for the charts - so that is possibly a different problem.
For your FTP issue and the json files, do you have "Include graph data files files" enabled in Web/FTP Settings? They will not be created without that.
Can I make a suggestion. Install a clean version of MX in a new folder, just copy over your data files and configure the station using the admin interface (no web host yet). Does the admin interface work correctly then?
Yes? Good, try adding your FTP site details, does that work?

Re: Another ftp issue
Hi Mark,
Yes, include graph data files was checked.
So I've done as you suggest, a full clean install of the latest version of CumulusMX in a new directory. I've copied nothing across yet, not cumulus.ini or any data. I've set the station settings to the same settings as before manually, no ftp or anything set up yet.
So the admin interface shows I'm connecting to the weather station and getting data successfully. The chart pages however are still blank after half an hour. Is that normal? What IS the mechanism for populating the admin interface charts? None of the jsons (temp, wind, humidity etc) have been created. Is that normal? I don't want to make any further changes till I know that everything is working correctly so far.
Thanks,
Martin

Re: Another ftp issue
The data for the graphs is pulled via an http request to Cumulus using same port as the main page - default 8998.
The live data pages get the data pushed over a web socket connection, again on the same port.
Your testing days indicates that there may be some issue on your network. Can you start your browser developer tools (f12 in Chrome), select the network tab, refresh the chart page and look for any errors?

Re: Another ftp issue
Can you click on tempdata.json and then select the preview tab please. That should show the contents, I don't expect it will give us a clue but....

Re: Another ftp issue
Ok, thanks.
I won't be back at my computer till Monday evening, so I'll do that then.
I'm intrigued to get to the bottom of this
About 10 years running Cumulus in various versions and this is the trickiest problem I've come across yet...

Re: Another ftp issue
Yeah, I'm puzzled too. If you are getting all the data (temp, pressure, wind etc) on the dashboard page, then the WMR100 station uses the same code to "add it in" to Cumulus as all the other stations.

Re: Another ftp issue
You're right, that was it! Adding NoSensorCheck=1 to cumulu.ini got everything working again. Thank you so much for your help, I would never have figured that out.
I'll need to get out on the roof once Brendan has passed and get the anemometer down to fix.
Could I politely suggest that a little message to the effect "Logging functionality disabled due to inadequate data" be added to MXDiags when this happens to help people in the future?
