Re: [b3215] Multiple issues

Upgraded to CMX 3.24.2 on the 5th of April from 3.23.1. I just wanted to inform you that with the latest version of CMX the issues I've had for the latest few months since upgrading to build 3.22.2 [b3215 - zero-byte files, slowly increasing number of threads, missing overnight rollovers and high CP...

Re: [b3215] Multiple issues

One thing I would be interested in trying. If you get a zero-length file, try deleting it and not restarting CMX. It may recreate the full file. You were right. As soon as I noticed the month.ini was zero-length I deleted it while CMX was still running and within a minute CMX had recreated it with ...

Re: [b3215] Multiple issues

I need to see why you have batches of writes every so often. The code needs optimising and some of the writes consolidating at a higher level - it will help SD disk wear for rPi users too! I saw those [sometimes up to 4-5 in a row] but had just assumed there were multiple reasons for the file to be...

Re: [b3215] Multiple issues

As for why I have so much extra files processing, some of that goes back to the days when I used to use cheap SD cards in my Pi which used to die a lot so I started backing up stuff like the ini files, monthly logs and other stuff to the FTP server to make it easier to recover from a dead Pi. I have...

Re: [b3215] Multiple issues

Have added a couple of MXDiag files that cover a few days. Also added some logs where I tracked changes to the month.ini file and the threads used by CMX. I've tried stepping through the logs myself, following along in the code, and tried to work out what is going on, but my C# knowledge is very bas...

[b3213] Daily BackupData routine only runs once after CMX restart

I have recently noticed that the daily BackupData routine only runs the first night after starting CMX. Subsequent nights the BackupData routine is not triggered. I turned Debugging on for a couple of days and have attached the resulting MXDiag file. Does anyone else have this issue or is it unique ...

Re: Issue with 24hour rain picking up annual total on upgrade to 3213

I do run CMX from a console. It was after hitting Ctrl-C that it didn't fully close.

Re: Issue with 24hour rain picking up annual total on upgrade to 3213

Thanks, I had tried to update mono to see if that was the issue, but it told me I had the latest version. I followed the doco you linked and now am running Mono 6.12.0.182 and the crashes when sending email have stopped. I have also been able to adjust my records now that the month has rolled over t...

Re: Issue with 24hour rain picking up annual total on upgrade

Have determined the Mono crash happens when CumulusMX tries to send an email. In this case, it was when my rain total went above 25mm. I tried to send a test email and that also generated the same crash. Mono version is 6.8.0.105 running on a Rasberry Pi running Raspbian 5.15.61-v7 [bullseye] Have a...

Re: Issue with 24hour rain picking up annual total on upgrade

BTW The reason I did the upgrade was that I had a loss of data input and CumulusMX seemed to have auto-stopped. It took me 2 days to notice that it wasn't running. There were a series of escalating issues that seemed to start the day before the stoppage culminating in the loss of data input. I was h...

Issue with 24hour rain picking up annual total on upgrade to 3213

I just upgraded from 3190 to 3213 and my 24hr rainfall and max24 hour rainfall showed as 747mm despite there being no rain on the day I upgraded and the day before. The 24 hour rainfall is increasing each day. 747mm was my total annual rainfall prior to the upgrade so it seems to have somehow picked...

Re: Extrawebfiles.html.

I'm glad you asked this question because the limit of 10 lines had been bugging me for ages and I'd never done anything about it. Your question prompted me to go and find out how it worked. The answer is quite simple but required a bit of digging on my part. The number of lines is set in the /interf...

Re: Erroneous High/Low data

I think I may have solved my own problem. I noticed that the data being written to mySQL had stopped at 30th May 13:40. I had a look at the MXDiag files around that time and noticed an issue with network connectivity on the 30th May at about 1:05. From that point onwards Cumulus had issues writing t...
