Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
I occasionally have to edit out humidity "spikes" from my data. I have noticed in the past couple of releases that the edited values are not shown in the Data Log Viewer as changed - although the value is changed in the monthly log files. Provided I remove cumulusmx.db, when I restart MX the edited values also show in the recent charts too. However after a restart they still have not changed in Data Log Viewer.
Not a big problem as I know the source values have changed, more of a curiosity.

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
Nothing has changed, it reads the monthly data log file directly for the data it returns.
Very odd!?
Code: Select all
var lines = File.ReadAllLines(logfile);

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
I have noticed that but Refresh seemed to fix it.

Yeah I thought of caching, but refresh didn't fix it for me.

As an aside (but not completely off-topic), have you thought about writing these edits into cumulusmx.db too? It would save me having to stop, delete, start MX each time I do an edit. I should really read my graphs out of my database but haven't had the time over the past year!

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
By means of clarification I meant Refresh button on the page not an F5 or Ctrl+F5.

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
Ah okay, I didn't realise that was what you meant. I have just updated to the latest release and can still see the unedited values displayed

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
No, refresh didn't work either. It's so weird - I have restarted, I can see the new values in the monthly log and on the charts, yet the old values still appear in the log viewer.
EDIT: Even tried opening the interface in an incognito tab with the same result.

But the recent data is every minute, so what do you do with all the db entries between the log intervals?

Re: Data Log Viewer not showing changed/edited values
I have 1-min logging so I hadn't given that much thought. I guess from the perspective of, say, 5-min logging you only overwrite the edited values to the log file and db? As to editing the intermediate points, they won't be editable - but that doesn't necessarily matter as the db data is volatile.mcrossley wrote: ↑Wed 02 Feb 2022 4:13 pmI suppose it should reallyfreddie wrote: ↑Wed 02 Feb 2022 3:01 pm As an aside (but not completely off-topic), have you thought about writing these edits into cumulusmx.db too?
