Webtag for last data read ?

Post by minigranis »

Hello !
Is there a webtag for the "last data read" info that exists in the Cumulus main app window, bottom right corner ?
I looked and searched the Wiki but couldnt find one.

No, sorry. I can easily add one. I'm not sure I really see the point, though; by the time you got it onto a web page it would probably be out of date.

I might be doing this all wong but my setup is as follows.
Cumulus runs on a PC in a remote site.
On the same PC I run a webserver and ftpserver.
Cumulus uploads the webfiles to the local ftpsever (127.0.0.1) every 5 minutes.

I check the current conditions by navigating to my webserver in my web browser.

If data input stops (ie error "Data input appears to have stopped - check your station and connections"), I have no way of knowing that by looking at the webpage, unless I am missing something.

If the last data read would be avaliable and I could check that tag on my webpage, that would give me a hint that something is wrong.

The 1.9.3 beta version has a <#DataStopped> web tag. But I've just added a web tag for last data read also, as it was very easy to do.
