It only runs on a Windows operating system. ~~‘Toolbox’ is still in development and may be unstable, however with your assistance we can make it a greet tool for all to use. Toolbox is free to use.~~ [[File:ToolboxScreen1.png\|250px\|thumb\|Main Console]] =Current feature list= [[Category:User Contributions]] Design your own ‘rules' based on ~~185~~any of the Cumulus ~~variables~~[[webtags]]. When a Rule is met the system will email any number of addresses with a customized warning message. Check to ensure Cumulus is running and also that Realtime processing is updating – again notification via email if this fails. Automatically backup key Cumulus data files hourly or Daily at a specific time. Click File, Backup to do an immediate backup. Files can also be compressed. See Requirements below if you plan to Compress the backups =Requirements= .NET Framework version 2.0 or above. Most up to date Windows installations will already have this. If 'Toolbox' does not run you need to download the latest .NET framework from Microsoft...[http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en here] If you plan to have 'Toolbox' to compress (zip) the backups then you require an additional tool for this. Download 7Zip command line tool from [http://www.~~gloware~~justdaj.~~co.uk~~com/files/cumulus/7za.exe here] and place the file (7za.exe) is the same folder Cumulus runs in. 7Zip is free for personal and commercial use -- full details on the license are [http://www.~~gloware~~justdaj.~~co.uk~~com/files/cumulus/7zalicense.txt here] =Installation= Firstly, you need to be processing the PHP webtag file in Cumulus, but it must be version 1.11 or later as there is a problem with earlier versions. If you are already on ver 1.11, skip to Part 2. If you are not interested in the rules bases checking you may also skip to Part 2 ==Part 1== Download from the wiki....~~http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/~~[[Php_webtags\|PHP Webtags]] Follow the instructions to set it up in Cumulus, however no need to FTP it, only process. For the remote filename you can place it anywhere on your local computer (c:\temp\...). It is not important. If you use PHP webtags on your website the remote filename is as it was before Make sure Cumulus processes the file at least once before you go any further ~~-- quickest way is to do a File, Web update; this will update your website but also make Cumulus process the webtags we need~~ In cumulus 1 -- quickest way is to use File menu, select Web update; this will update your website but also make Cumulus process the web tags we need In Cumulus MX, the equivalent is to use Settings menu, select FTP now; this will do same as above. ==Part 2== Download Cumulus Toolbox .... http://www.~~gloware~~justdaj.~~co.uk~~com/files/cumulus/ToolboxSetup.exe Run the Setup by Double clicking on the icon When complete it will add a shortcut on the desktop, and in the Programs menu, and will start. First thing to do is File, Setup Select your Cumulus.~~ini~~ini_(Cumulus_1) file location and the PHPWebtags file you are processing in Cumulus Enter an email address of whom to notify when Rules are met Move to the eMail server Tab ==Rules== In here you can add, edit and delete rules. You basically select a webtag, a condition and a value. For example, 'temp' less than 10. Also note how often you should be told of this event. Currently you can be notified each time the event happens, hourly or once per day. You may also customise the message to be emailed to you for each Rule., including using [[webtags]] in the message ==System Checks== =Version Control= Version 1.0 - Allow Toolbox to run even if you do not wish to use the PHP Webtags file or Rules. Support for more webtags (needed for Cumulus 1.9.2). Added month and year.ini to Editor ~~The product is still in beta testing..~~ Previous beta builds... Build 46 - Updated to support new fields in log files for Cumulus v1.9.1 (beta); prevent two copies of Toolbox running; added support for "once 24 hour" rule; allow webtags in Rule messages Build 45 - Added the backup of new files in 1.8.9 Build 924 of Cumulus; specifically alltime.ini and alltimelog.txt.
