Cumulus Support

Does this look wrong to anyone?

Hi,
I do quite often see a lag from Local time to Last Cumulus update and Last station update. Usually all within a second or so but sometimes Last station update can be many seconds and even a minute or more before it catches up, and then all ok again. I sometimes see Last Cumulus update and Last station update a split second before the Local station time.

Looking at the MXdiags there seems to be a lot of data, processing and FTP/PHP updates around those same times. And maybe it is my PC that is very busy.

Enjoy,
Paul

It's the one below it Paul, 24 seconds behind on the last station update seems excessive?!

If you are running CumulusMX on a separate computer to the computer that is displaying the dashboard then is is usually because the two computer's system clocks are out of sync.

I see this occasionally on my two computers and fix it by running the time server sync on each computer and the times then return to normal.

As Davis explained. The top time is from your local client.

Cumulus Update: is the last time CMX updated the screen, this will either be periodically, or when new data has been received.

Station update: is the last time data has been received from the station.

For a Davis WLL both of these should update every 2.5 seconds if the broadcasts are being received
For a Davis VP2 they should update mostly every 2.5 seconds, but there will be the odd pause every so often whilst MX does LOOP2 processing etc.
