Cumulus Support

I have two instances of CumulusMX running with one Weatherlink Live.

One is working fine and uploading to http://komokaweather.com/cumulusmxwll/index.htm
The second install works fine except that it does not show current Gust on the Dashboard nor log the Recent high gust in the monthly log, and not updating in the web files.
When I first noticed it earlier this morning I replaced the full \data folder from my other CumulusMX WLL install at 10:50 this morning, so all data and web updates were correct at that time. However since that time the Wind gust is not being updated again as can be seen in the the test site but Wind speed is http://komokaweather.com/cumulusmxtest/trends.htm

The Wind speed (avg) shows on the Dashboard, is logged, and updated to the web.
Weatherlink.com Charts and Data show the Avg wind speed and High wind speed.

I have checked the Cumulus.ini in DiffMerge for both installs and other than the website difference, they are identical.

Any thoughts on why one CumulusMX install is showing gusts and the other is not?

Enjoy,
Paul

I'd need to see the MXdiags files Paul. But it wind is obtained from both the broadcasts (current) and querying the WLL directly (gusts averages).

Is the WLL IP address correct on the instance that isn't working properly? (it would still get the broadcasts because your other instance is keeping them going)

Hi Mark,
Zip attached for MXwll latest as this has not restarted for a few days.
Zip attached for MXtest before and after restart.

Looking at the files looks like the second instance MXtest has an "ERROR: No broadcast data received from the WLL for 30 seconds" every 30 seconds (the red alarm light does come on a lot) but the only issue I've noticed is the Wind gust missing.

I hadn't realized that the WL-com Share does show in the MXdiags.

Thanks,
Paul

Are you running both instances on the same computer?

Sorry, but I just checked, the current MX builds do not allow two programs on the same computer to listen for the same broadcasts. I can change that so that the multi-cast port can be shared for the next build.

Yes I have both running on the same computer and using a different -port to run and view the interface.
It is a convenient way to test things, including alternate templates
I presume that has no impact to another CumulusMX install on the same computer using WiFiLogger IP as that is working and also seems fine.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul, no the other install will be fine. It's just that two or copies of CMX on the same computer cannot listen to the WLL multi-casts.

I can confirm that with v3.9.7-b3107 I can run more than one CumulusMX on the same PC and wind gust is being logged in the log file.

Thanks Mark,
Paul
