Charts going blank

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).

Charts going blank

Post by XBower »

Hello out there.

I have just upgraded from Cumulus1 to CumulusMX 3101.
I have a question about the charts.
Is there a reason why the Daily Temp in Recent Charts and all the Historic Charts goes blank after a restart of CMX?
They do build up nicely during the following days, but a new restart and they are gone.
Perhaps I have made a mistake somewhere when setting this sup?

I'm running CMX 3.9.6 b3101
Windows 10 20H2 on a somewhat low spec PC

EDIT:
If it can be of any interest, I just found lots of these in my MXdiags files:
2021-01-28 12:20:53.786 LoadDayFile: Attempting to load the day file
2021-01-28 12:20:53.818 LoadDayFile: Error at line 1 of data\dayfile.txt : Input string was not in a correct format.
2021-01-28 12:20:53.818 Please edit the file to correct the error

My first lines in the dayfile.txt:

I may be blind, but I can't see what could be wrong with the first lines.
Perhaps a cr/lf after the minus signs, but that can be my copy/paste.
Could that be an issue?


EDIT2:
I also noticed just now when looking at the dayfile in the admin console that my 'older' records don't have any values for the last 6 fields.
Is this of any importance?
Should I fill up these up?


Best regards

For your records from the start to 31-07-13, the third field (Bearing of Highest wind gust) has a decimal value, it should be an integer.

From 01-08-13 onwards the field format is correct.

Hi.

You're absolutely right...
After editing these values, everything works just fine.
I can just wonder why I didn't see this, or how it came to be.

I just love the new charts in CMX, really nice.
Even more so, when they work as intended.

Thanks for Your help.
