Cumulus Support

• CMX produces a file WebTags.txt during startup and that contains the tag with name snow24hr. Therfore I created the customlog CLogDailySnow in CMX settings as <#snow24hr rc=y nv=0>,<#snowdepth rc=y nv=0>. Also in the CMX Wiki the webtag is called <#snow24hr> with 'r' at the end. https://www.cumuluswiki.org/a/Full_list_of_Webtags

• But the CU chartscompiler uses the plot variable Snow24h.
  CU complained during Website/UserAskedData and parsing CutilsCharts.def about the <#snow24hr rc=y nv=0>.
  I had to adapt CutilsCharts.def to use CLogDailySnowsnow24h, but also CMX settings for Customlogs to use <#snow24h rc=y nv=0>,<#snowdepth rc=y nv=0> without 'r' at the end.

• Now CU CustomLogs setup is working and I get an empty CLogDailySnow chart, but I assume I will never get values for webtag #snow24h in CMX in the file CLogDailySnow.txt ... (But I have a working chartscompiler based chart with DailySnow).

• As expected, during CMX end of day the CLogDailySnow.txt file was written with an empty string for webtag #snow24h and the JSON structure of (all) daily Customlogs got invalid and CU Customslogs did no longer disaply daily CLog charts.

• I edited the CLogDailySnow.txt file manually and added/fixed some values and after running utils\bin\cumulusutils.exe Website again, I got the CLog charts back and took a screenshot how CLogDailySnow chart would loook like ...

• Then I disabled CLogDailySnow in CMX Settings and removed the Chart CLogDailySnow from the CutilsCharts.def for the time being (could have also set the cumulusutils.ini paramter ExcludedCustomLogs=CLogDailySnow instead) ...
  After running utils\bin\cumulusutils.exe Website and UserAskedData all ExtraCharts and CLogCharts are back as usual (just without CLogDailySnow).

• DailySnow Chart is of course still fine and produces the same output that I wanted to achieve with CLogDailySnow in the first place. https://leonas.ddns.net/Wetterstation.S ... =DailySnow
