Introduction

The debug logging feature is extremely useful in troubleshooting problems with Cumulus and/or connectivity to your weather station or FTP upload communications.



Note re Cumulus MX

Please see MX Diagnostics article

Solving Cumulus 1 Errors

The diagnostic files also log error messages, often with extra information compared to the error window (accessed by clicking error light/indicator), and may help you if you have a problem.

When you ask for support via the forum, you often need to upload (as a zip) one or all of the diagnostic files in the Diags folderespecially for problems that occur when you start or restart Cumulus. Include all files, unless you definitely know that a single diags file contains all the information for when Cumulus 1 is running normally as well as when it encountered the problem and failed. Add debug.log from the folder above in the zip.


In Windows Explorer, open the Cumulus installation folder (default is C:\Cumulus). Right-click on the 'Diags' folder, and from the pop-up menu, select 'Send to -> Compressed (zipped) Folder' (available in most Windows versions). This will create a file called Diags.zip. Post your message in the forum, and attach the file using the 'Attachment' section below the area where you have typed your message (browse for the file, then click 'Add the file').

Debugging in Cumulus 1

See Debug.log as this is separate file stored in the top directory.
