Cumulus Support

Hello everyone, I kindly ask if you know any site, manual, guide to explain step by step how to create graphics with Highcharts and data that we publish with Cumulus via the file. I note that work with Mac and I did not understand if the guide published on Wiki Cumulus can fit also for Mac or Windows only.

Thank you all !

As it is all JScript it will work on MAC and Windows.

There is book called Learning Highcharts by Joe Kuan ISBN 9781849519083 and there is the HighCharts Api site http://api.highcharts.com/highcharts with worked examples of how to use the code.

First thanks for the quick response. But my problem is how to read the data you send to Hightchart on realtime.txt.
1) I need to create a database?
2) I can read them directly on txt file?

If you are trying to implement Mark Crossley's Near Realtime chart, you can either upload the realtime.txt file to a MySQL database using ImportCumulusFile.php (see the Wiki) or Mark provided a way to create the a realtime.log file containing the last 120 minutes (2hrs) using a Windows Batch file that is uploaded either by Cumulus Toolbox or Cumulus and used as input to the program he supplied to chart the results.

Details are in Mark's original post and in the Wiki here http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Highcharts_-_Realtime

Hi all,

I too am struggling with the provided setup instructions...

Having put Highcharts in a folder on my server, downloaded, extracted tail.exe and placed it, established periodically uploading the realtimelog.txt, what rookies like me are missing is the part about linking the two componants. Having worked out where to display the chart, how do we actually get highcharts to read the file and display the chart? The instructions appear to just jump to "the result", but Im not seeing that magically appear anywhere, worse luck..
