Edited values from monthly logs not showing in graphs

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).

Edited values from monthly logs not showing in graphs

Post by freddie »

I've been doing some cleaning of my VP2 (bird poop and spiders!) and accidentally triggered 5 rain tips in the process. After I finished I used the editing functions for the monthly logs (and "this month" records) to remove the erroneous tips. I also reset the days rain to 0.0 using "Todays Rain Editor". I then restarted MX so that the new values would show in the graphs. Unfortunately the graphs are still showing the "maintenance tips". I double-checked the monthly file (Sep21log.txt) and the values were no longer present, as expected. When I have performed this routine in the past then the values would disappear on restart of MX. Is this something to do with the persisting of recent values introduced in a recent release?

It is, if you delete the cumulusmx.db file before restarting it will be recreated from the log files - but you'll lose the one minute data resolution.

The cumulusmx.db file is SQLite format, so it can be queried and edited if you install a SQLite client.

Thanks Mark. My logging interval is 1 minute, so I'm not going to lose out by deleting the .db file. I've done this and my graphs are okay now. Thanks for the tip.

I don't know if this is any help to you or not, freddie.. I always unplug the rain tipper cable from the ISS when I do my maintenance. Save the editing!

Thanks Tina. I usually put the station in setup mode, but didn't as I was only cleaning the buckets and surrounding area, and not taking off the "screen" for cleaning. I'll use your suggestion in future before cleaning the buckets!
