Cumulus Support

Couldn;t readily fid anything about this so...

For whatever reason, Cumulus stopped working just after 3am my time and I didn't pick this up until 10am local time - so I missed 7 hours of data - this I can easily compensate for (there is an AWS about 2 km from here).

But...

Because of this, the daily 9am rollover has been missed. Now, I know I can easily go and edit the dayfile.tx (well, reasonably easily) - but is there any way to auto-generate a close off for a day when the rollover has been missed?

IOW - Cumulus knows the data up to 0519 when the software stopped - so I have yesterdays Max - just missing the mins which isn't a great hassle. If it knows the rollover has passed and hasn't been generated, I would like it to generate the 9am close-offs somehow.

If this isn't in C1, how about C2?

Alternatively - whilst as I said dayfile.txt can be 'reasonably' editied, it is a hassle because of the number of fields. Could C2 have an editing screen available for either display OR entering unknown or missing data for a day?

I know this sounds like a big ask, but I am sure I'm not the first, and certainly won;t be the last where a 9am (or midnight for some) rollover is missed for whatever reason.

(As to why Cumulus stopped working - not sure. I run it as a service and Windows updates are scheduled for 3am - it performed this, rebooted the server and although Cumulus was loaded in memory, nothing was logged by it after the reboot. So, not sure whether it wasn't collecting data or simply not writing the data. I do know that after I started it, when I brought C1 to the front, it was correctly showing the amount of rain for my area on its main screen - daily total was correct although rain in last hour obviously wasn't).

There's no way to get Cumulus to generate an end-of-day summary for stations that don't have a data logger. It's possible that I may add this at some point, but relatively few users have a station like this, so it would be a lot of work which wouldn't benefit many people.

The Cumulus Toolbox makes editing the C1 files easier. I have to assume you haven't actually looked at C2, as that has a built-in editor for the data, doesn't use text files, doesn't have a separate end of day summary, etc etc

No problem - had to ask though

And no - haven't had a chance to look at C2 as I can't run the two together without the risk of losing data.

Still trying to work out why 1 stopped this morning as this is the first time it has done this (and I have regular Windows updates on the server causing it to reboot at 3am...must have been the cold weather
