Editing CMX logs using Windows Cumulus 1
Posted: Tue 24 Oct 2017 2:32 pm
My logs and history are a mess due to a malfunctioning Fine Offset station.
I would like to get rid of all the zeros and spikes to make a clean history.
Just supposing I stop CMX and duplicate the data directory into my old Cumulus setup on Windows. Using select-a-graph I can look at each month and easily see what is wrong. I will be able to use a text editor to cut out great swathes of corrupt history from the logs. I then use the Cumulus editor to fix up the monthly, yearly and alltime summaries. I estimate that 6 months of the past two years need drastic surgery, but I could run over all of them to make sure the monthly files are consistent.
The fly in the ointment is the date format difference in the ini files; the monthly logs are compatible between CMX and C1 - possibly needing a line ending change.
Changing the date format in the ini files is simple, a sed script will do it. Changing back is also not a problem.
After all the files are edited, it is just a matter of copying them back over the original CMX files (NB taking backups first) and restarting CMX.
Can anyone see a flaw in this approach? Are there any other files that need to be changed? (all the ini files in the data directory, and cumulus.ini itself)

Has anyone tried anything like this?
