Error log editing

Post by Meteosat »

Is it possible to edit or delete the error log without stopping and re-starting Cumulus would anyone know - I have been playing with locations for the temperature sensor - and along the way discovered a number of dead spots for transmission.

Do you mean the window that pops up when you click the error light? I'm afraid there's no way to clear that without restarting Cumulus. There ought to be, but I've never done anything with it as it was only ever supposed to be temporary, and needs replacing with something better.

Thanks Steve - yes that was the one - just wondering if it goes on to infinity if Cumulus doesn't get stopped.restarted ? ;-))

I was just adding a 'clear' button, and I noticed that I've actually implemented a limit of 256 messages (it deletes the oldest when the limit is reached). I'll still add the 'clear' button, though.

Many thanks Steve,

It is working great here now - and needful as I am getting a cluster of lost sensor messages, but only occasionally!

Cheers
