Cumulus Support

To day I saw that the station was not updated in several hours.
I tried to restart cumulus MX - but with no luck.:

pi@raspberrypi:~/CumulusMX $ sudo mono CumulusMX.exe
Current culture: English (United Kingdom)
Serial: 74FECEABEB2DA94ECB5EBA0CD11A7137
Cumulus MX v.3.0.0 build 3038
Today.ini = data/today.ini
Last update=2016-05-19T23:15:00
Unable to connect to station
Cumulus running at: http://*:8998/

**** An error has occurred - please zip up the MXdiags folder and post it in the forum ****
Press Enter to terminate

A restart of the PI and then a start of the CumulusMX and all was working again.

Enclosed the errorlog - here where the log register the error

I will restore my backup - but it would be nice if I could recieve a mail when such things happens

just a thought, if you upload the Wunderground, you can sent the account to email you when WU has not received any data in 2 hours.

not sure if you have two issues, but looks like Cumulusmx was unable to upload data to your website either for quiet sometime

Hi Simon

Thanks for Your proposals.

CumulusMX continued sending data to my webserver after the crash, but as You see - it is the same data every 5 minutes it sends.

So I don't think wundergrund wil be of any help.

Yes, it's just the data reading thread which crashes, the other threads continue quite happily in ignorance. I'll look at trying to handle this error when it occurs. Mail notifications are some way off, I'm afraid.
