Webtag Data Sources

[stefanbagnato]

Another simple one I bet...where do the webtags actually pull data from? I am using the records page to sanitize some of my data.

For instance, the highest daily temp range tells me that on October 7th, 2018, there was a temp range of 88.1 degrees, which outside of the desert, does not happen anywhere. Reviewing the monthly table in mysql, I don't remember the specifics of why, but my station must have been down for two days, as I had no data from the 5th through early on the 7th. All temp values in monthly are populated, once the data flow resumed. All values in realtime are populated. I adjusted the value in the dayfile to read the lowest temp registered, instead of 0.0 (you guessed it, the high was 88.1).

Reviewing the various files in CumulusMX/data, the Oct18log.txt file did not show any erroneous values nor did the month201811.ini. The monthlyalltimelog.txt and monthlyalltime.ini were also clean. Alltimelog.txt and alltime.ini is where I found, and corrected, the fake "record". But, the webtag is still pulling that 88.1 from somewhere...

Which web tag is showing the erroneous value?

Mark, attached a screenshot. Looks to be #apptempL, #rfallhH, #rfallH, #rfallmH, and mayyyyybe #rrateM although that could have been a legitimate couple-of-seconds absolute downpour. I started to chase some of these values down, but I realized that without knowing their actual sources, there's too many places to actually look.

On start-up Cumulus will read them from the alltime.ini file

You know, I edited the ini last night, but never even considered restarting Cumulus. That worked!
