#As CumulusUtils itself runs in the Cumulus directory, the data directory (data) is one level below. CumulusUtils currently uses dayfile.txt, the monthly logfiles and incidentally the alltime.ini file. It also takes information from Cumulus.ini.  All output is written to the utils/ subdirectory. All logs are created in the utils/utilslog/ subdirectory.

#The output of CumulusUtils consists of UTF8 encoded text files. They can be brought to your website manually through some ftp tool (e.g. WinSCP) or by using the Extra Web Files functionality in the setting of Cumulus (deprecated) or by using the [[Internal FTP facility]].

#CumulusUtils can output for many languages. See the specific page on [[Language in CumulusUtils|language in CumulusUtils]].
#In case of problems there exists a [[Cumulusutils logfile]]. In case of problems you can check for yourself or ask on the forum with the log file as attachment. All logfiles are to be found in the directory utils/utilslog/ - which is automatically created if it does not exist - and they will have the name: ''yyMMddHHmmcumulusutils.log'' which sorts easily alphabetically. So that would be e.g. 2005271332cumulusutils.log. This gives the possibility to run CumulusUtils many times per day and if you find a problem later in one of the major runs at midnight, you still have that log. Logs will be kept for 2 days, giving you enough time to save the log you want to save. Errorlogging is governed by two inifile parameters: ''NormalMessageToConsole'' and ''TraceInfoLevel''. See the page on [[Cumulusutils.ini|''cumulusutils.ini'']].
