Questions: Log Interval / Extra Sensors

From build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

Questions: Log Interval / Extra Sensors

Post by SunDial »

Hi,

I guess a few newbie questions here but I can't find much on them, so here goes.

Under the CumulusMX Settings > Station Settings > Options the Log Interval advises "Frequency of Cumulus log entries - set your station to the same". I have an Oregon Scientific WMR 928N PWS and I can't see the log interval mentioned in the user manual - anyone know how or where I could check or change this so that I know I am in sync with my CumulusMX setting? Is a recommended setting 5 minutes to keep the log file manageable?

Also under Station Settings > Options is Extra Sensors and "Display and log extra sensors, if fitted". I have three additional sensors and although I see the sensor data under Extra Sensors on the Admin page I don't see any difference under Dashboard, Now, Gauges or Graphs with the setting enabled. What is the meaning of "Display" in the context of the sub-heading advice in this case, i.e. where can I see this extra sensor data displayed?

Thanks

Cumulus doesn't do much with the extra data other than display it on the Extra Sensors page of the Admin interface. It's up to you to add the data you want to your web pages.

Sorry I can't help with your logging interval question.
