Build 3221 Custom daily logs doesn't work

[LSchenk]

Hello, yesterday i tried to get custom logs work. Monthly file is working properly.
Dayfile named "MyLog" was enabled at ~ 10 pm and nothing came. At exact midnight a first file was written, but with a strange timestamp:

10.01.23;4,1;90;8,4;24;164;2,0;1015,7;19,4;50;0,0;0;0,8;4,2;4,1;4,2;37,0;91;87;0;0

No time is seen and since then, the file wasn't updatet until now.
My settings in pic below.

May someone have suggestions on it?

Regards Lutz

As it is a daily log you will only get a date and no time. Because it is a daily frequency you will only get one line per day at rollover time.
So, from what I see I would say it is OK (assuming the date format is correct).

If you say

the file wasn't updatet until now

what time is the now?

Hello Hans, time now was as i posted the message at 4:12 pm CET.
For the file i got the information from a german forum, that the dayfile would record each dataset per interval.
This info seems to be wrong.

Thank you for the correction.

Hi,
I don't do Daily so can't check on that. For my Interval logging it is shows in the MXdiags

Is there anything in your MXdiags at the time it is expected to process?

Enjoy,
Paul

Hello Hans, time now was as i posted the message at 4:12 pm CET.

OK, but the file date/time must be the rollover time it can't be updated at 4:12
Can you confirm?

Edit: @PaulMy: I have a daily custom log and that logs OK one line per day at rollover time.

Yes there is an entry at 00:00:

Thank you both, so i have to use the monthly file for file monitoring from WsWin.

Hi,

Hello, yesterday i tried to get custom logs work. Monthly file is working properly.

I presume with Monthly file you mean the saving of the Custom Interval Logs is in a monthly form, so a new file each month - i.e. yourfilename-yyyymm?

As @HansR confirms the Custom Daily Log is saved once a day with whatever tags have entered and perhaps he can confirm if that is a continuous file like the standard dayfile.txt, or if in a monthly or annual file.

so i have to use the monthly file for file monitoring from WsWin.

I am not familiar with WsWin but a search shows a 2011 program by that name, and also currently WsWin in WeatherCloud. Would the normal Weathercloud update by CumulusMX (in the Third Party Uploads settings) not be sufficient?

Enjoy,
Paul

The Daily custom log is a continuous file like the dayfile.txt

Hi Paul,

I am not familiar with WsWin but a search shows a 2011 program by that name, and also currently WsWin in WeatherCloud. Would the normal Weathercloud update by CumulusMX (in the Third Party Uploads settings) not be sufficient?

WsWin is a german program, which is in steadily in update-progress. My problem is to have an instance, what receives the console-data from my hp1000se pro (Ecowitt-Clone), because WsWin have no direct access to theese data. Therefore i have to use file-monitoring. I'm not providing data to weather-services like AWEKAS, W-U etc. I use it just for my personal homepage.

Before the custom logs were available, i had to use a special .exe to merge the dayfile+extradayfiles into one .csv.

Now, with the costom logs, this is obsolete, and i can reduce the size of the monitored file to more than 80% less.

Just the the filenames with changing part of the date e.g. MyLog-yyyyMM.txt is a little problem because the monitored file should have no changing name. This i will fix with a Xcopy the file to another with unchanged name. Xcopy will run per interval by the CMX External Program settings. Testing it just now, looks fine.
