Weatherflow Tempest and logging

[Dinant]

In the MXdiag log file I see all the UDP packets (e.g. rapid_wind and hub_status).
Nice for debugging but they create much bigger log files.
They have a different layout compared to the normal Cumulus MX logging.
Is it possible to disable the logging of those UDP packets?

Example:

Code: Select all

Which version of MX?

Switching off data logging should remove those messages.

Which version of MX?

Build 3283.

I looked into the code and it seems the packets are printed with Debug.WriteLine in TempestStation.cs.

Code: Select all

		private static void _udpListener_PacketReceived(object sender, PacketReceivedArgs e)
		{
			if (e.Packet.Length > 0)
			{
				var s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Packet);
				Debug.WriteLine(s);
				WeatherPacket wp = null;
				try
				{
					wp = JsonSerializer.DeserializeFromString<WeatherPacket>(s);
					if (wp != null)
					{
						wp.FullString = s;
						wp.SetMessageType();
						if (wp.MsgType != WeatherPacket.MessageType.Unknown) WeatherPacketReceived?.Invoke(wp);
					}
				}
				catch (Exception ex)
				{
					Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
				}

				if ((wp?.timestamp ?? 0) != 0) Debug.WriteLine(wp?.PacketTime.ToString());
			}
		}

Please redownload the CumulusMXDist3283.zip file (the link now points to CumulusMXDist3283a.zip). A debug version of the exe found its way in to the original zip file.

The only file that has changed and you need to replace is CumulusMX.exe.

Yes, Working fine now. Thanks for the quick response.
