Cumulus Support

I have had internet connection errors over the past few days requiring restarting MX. Upon the start barometric data starts with a zero value and then records the proper data on the next read. This is obviously a problem with my installation as this did not happen in the past. So my question is where does this zero start value come from and where is it recorded so that I may edit the appropriate data file. I have attached a screen capture of the rendered chart. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

As I have already told you: Likely caused by this listed known issue: "Some timer-based actions (e.g. realtime FTP and realtime SQL update) can happen before first data is read". Logging data is a "timer-based action".

Cumulus MX data log files are the same as Cumulus 1 log files, so the information in the FAQ and wiki about correcting data also applies (apart from the editors, which mostly aren't in MX). Start with the April log file and then look at the others. The value may not actually be in the log files, just in the graphs, so there may be nothing to correct. A restart would normally correct that automatically, but of course it may just happen again anyway, until I get around to fixing the problem.

As I have already told you:

Sorry Steve I thought the answer you refer to was for someone else. I will take on-board your advise and hunt down the "zero" culprit.
