Descriptions, and tips, can also be found in the Help file within the Cumulus software.
 
=Explanation=
Remember, if you edit any of these log files to obey cautions in the individual articles (stop cumulus before editing any file that Cumulus might be updating, don't change the format of files for example don't change format of dates or real numbers, don't add 'Byte Order Mark', don't add blank lines, don't add headers to files where Cumulus needs to read the file as well as update it).
 
*This sub-category provides links to pages that give explanations for all of the Log files within Cumulus 1.
Essentially, there are 3 types:
*Descriptions, and tips, can also be found in the Help file within the Cumulus 1 software.
# .ini files - these hold values that represent sums, counts, or extremes, for cumulus to read and maintain as it reads the weather observations.
# .txt files - these are the logs that Cumulus updates at defined intervals to hold details of what has happened.
# .xml file - this holds the [[Weather_Diary]].

These files apply to both Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX. Note that file names are case-sensitive, read documentation to see where capital letters are required.
 
[[Calculate Missing Values]], [[Amending dayfile]], and [[Correcting Extremes]], are the pages to look at.
Cumulus MX also has some JSON files with data for its trends web page.
