''Note that 3.12.0 (when first installed) apparently automatically rewrites this file, to remove some historic parameters, and to insert some new parameters, hopefully the support forum will explain this, as it appears people are losing some settings due to this file rewrite, and have to manually add those lost preferences back.''

All the pages, previously called "Cumulus.ini", can be found from the owning [[:Category:Configuration Files|category]].  The original page was preserved at [[Cumulus.ini_(preserving_history)]] so look there for its editing history.  That page also expands on the above summary of why that old page was replaced by this new page.

==Need to install MX 3.12.0 ==
If you are using Cumulus 1 or a release of MX earlier than 3.12.0, be aware that the content of "Cumulus.ini" is totally different to the file for later MX releases. (It might have been better had the file been given a new name in release 3.12.0).
The way the developer decided to implement it, is that when somebody installs release 3.12.0, any existing "Cumulus.ini" file is renamed, and a new "Cumulus.ini" file is created from scratch, and from then onwards all changes apply to the new file. As 3.12.0 is the only release that can create the replacement file, it is highly recommended that anybody currently using an older release, downloads 3.12.0 from [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/download/b3141/CumulusMXDist3141.zip here] and runs that release for a while before upgrading to the latest release [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX here].

The MX software offers much functionality and flexibility.  Consequently, it has an extensive set of configuration settings, fortunately apart from the initial settings of model and units (see next sub-section), recent releases have simplified many of the settings for optional features by providing particular selections to affect a whole range of others (for predicted uses), instead of forcing you to individually work through every individual setting.

==First run of MX==
<big>Please see [[First Run of MX]] for how to set up settings when you first use MX.</big>
 
This Wiki page does not explain how to start using MX, please see [[MX on Linux]], [[MX on Windows OS]], and [[MX Administrative Interface]] as appropriate.
 
The key fact relevant here is that no Cumulus release distribution contains a '''Cumulus.ini''' file. So when you first use the software,  you will need to use the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Changing_Settings|admin interface]] to enter all settings (some have defaults that might be right for you) as described later in this page, and that will lead to creation of the main configuration file.
 
# If you start Cumulus MX without a configuration file, and you have a screen attached so you can see the output from the engine, it will show this: [[File:MX first start.PNG]]
# As you can see, it is running, but it does not know what station type, so it cannot connect to it, and will not do anything more.
# At this stage, MX creates a very basic Cumulus.ini with the default settings (shown below).
#Open the [[MX Administrative Interface|admin interface]], and select the station settings if necessary: [[File:MX_station_settings.png|800px|center]]
# At the very minimum, you must select a station type and units (as shown in image here)
# Optionally, move down the page, entering more settings,
#* The settings that are displayed to you vary depending on the station type you have selected (and the particular MX release), so there is not a screenshot to show you the other settings for your station type.
# Optionally, move to other settings pages accessed from the menu seen in the image, these cover the optional functionality of MX, so the pages you need to visit depends on what functionality you wish to use.
# Optionally, use [[Samplestring.ini]] file as a guide to create a [[Strings.ini|strings.ini]] file (look up the cross reference if you want to do this now, but you can leave it to later) where you can tailor a number of texts that Cumulus produces.
#* The advantage of creating your '''strings.ini''' file now, is that it is read when MX starts, and we will shortly restart MX.
# Closing MX is the action that will create the main configuration file.
# MX must be stopped correctly, because it has to do a number of actions after it receives a request to close:
#* If you have a screen attached to the device running the MX engine, you can click in that screen and terminate Cumulus MX by typing '''C''' while holding down the control key (or equivalent if you are using an apple mac).
#* If you are connecting to MX from a remote device, then type into that remote session the control '''C'''.
#* Otherwise do whatever is needed to end the MX executable on your installation.
# Restart Cumulus MX, it will read your new settings (in '''Cumulus.ini''' and the optional '''strings.ini''') on re-starting, it will find the weather station, and start reading the weather data from it. On this first access to your weather station, it will not read any archive data (there is a way to modify [[today.ini]] so it can read what is in the separate logger), but from now (until you stop it) it will read (and from time to time log) the live data while MX remains running.

As a specific example, release 3.11.0 added emailing capability; that requires quite a lot of new parameters to be added to the file.  You could use MX without these new parameters, but the Alarm Settings page would not allow you to click '''Enable''' until you had defined various settings on another Settings page, as well as on this Alarm Settings page.

* 8 points
* 16 points
Despite what it says in the hint on the settings page, leave at default whichever weather station type you use, unless this actually causes you a problem.  The parameter was introduced by Steve Loft.  Davis wind vanes use a potentiometer to measure wind direction so send Cumulus a bearing that can vary continuously between 1 and 360 degrees. Fine Offset wind vanes use magnetic switches that depend on the magnet under the moving part selecting two switches in the fixed part for the vane being exactly in-between compass directions, and selecting one switch for the main 8 directions and slightly away from the main directions; so they have a bias against sending Cumulus the in-between directions.

==Extra Web Files==
 
There are 100 occurrences of each parameter in Cumulus.ini, and therefore each parameter has a base name followed by numbers 0 to 99.
 
The settings interface presents the rows on multiple pages, the rows are not numbered, so you have to do some counting to work out which row in the admin interface page corresponds with which parameter in Cumulus.ini file.
 
'''You MUST restart MX after any changes in this section, before the new settings take effect.'''

* 8 points
* 16 points
Despite what it says in the hint on the settings page, leave at default whichever weather station type you use, unless this actually causes you a problem.  The parameter was introduced by Steve Loft.  Davis wind vanes use a potentiometer to measure wind direction so send Cumulus a bearing that can vary continuously between 1 and 360 degrees. Fine Offset wind vanes use magnetic switches that depend on the magnet under the moving part selecting two switches in the fixed part for the vane being exactly in-between compass directions, and selecting one switch for the main 8 directions and slightly away from the main directions; so they have a bias against sending Cumulus the in-between directions.

==Optional Structured Query Language Settings==
 
SQL is structured in the sense that keywords have to appear in the correct order, and there are rules about which words are mandatory. SQL is not just for running queries that read database tables, it can create database tables, give and revoke permissions, and do many more maintenance type tasks. SQL is a language in that each variant of SQL has a vocabulary and set of rules that are specific to that database server, although there is a sub-set, that is set by "ANSI", of words and constructions that all SQL dialects should obey.
 
MX uses two types of SQL. One type is for SQLite database (see [[Cumulusmx.db]] and [[Diary.db]], that type stores data in rows that are numbered, and columns that are named. In a retrieval query you can sort ascending/descending on value in any column.  You can select a row by specifyimg content, but that gets translated into a row number to actually determine what is updated.
 
The file section '''[MySQL]''' is about a different type of database (i.e. Maria database, or Oracle MySQL) these implement a relational database that has to satisfy the rule that all data appears in a table with rows and columns. The columns have a particular order, but there is no control over the order of rows, so you can't specify a row number, you either specify a primary key that identifies a particular row, or you specify that what is returned from query should be sorted in an ascending/descending order of the value in a specified column.

==Optional Web Server==


The settings listed here changed dramatically at both 3.10.0 and 3.12.0 releases, but they have gradually evolved throughout the development of MX.
==Optional Third-party Upload Settings==


FRom 3.12.0, MX can optionally either copy files to a web server you host or file transfer files to a commercial web server.


To implement (and customise) this web server functionality, there are many settings as listed alphabetically in this table.  The Internet settings page simplifies making settings by providing selections that amend multiple settings in a bulk operation:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
* Some settings (marked ^ in table) are only displayed if you select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''.
|-
** For these settings, the "Generate" option is enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) settings
** If you select "Enable file copy of standard files" (default is disabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases, and their "FTP Transfer" option deselected (instead of defaults shown in table)
** If you deselect "Enable file transfer of standard files" (default is enabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option disabled, and their "FTP Transfer" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases (as per defaults shown in table)
* '''The default selections assume you have air quality, and solar, sensors; so you may need to disable some of the defaults the above selections have made'''
* If you don't select '''I want to use the supplied default web site''', then all the settings marked ^ are disabled
** This is what you want if you do not use the MX optional web server functionality
** If you have a customised  web site, you may want to select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''  to see the settings that would otherwise all be disabled, and then pick any options that would be useful to you.

To implement (and customise) this web server functionality, there are many settings as listed alphabetically in this table.  The Internet settings page simplifies making settings by providing selections that amend multiple settings in a bulk operation:
* Don't tick (value shown as 0 in Cumulus.ini) to disable
* Some settings (marked ^ in table) are only displayed if you select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''.

** For these settings, the "Generate" option is enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) settings
| Copy-raindata=0
** If you select "Enable file copy of standard files" (default is disabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases, and their "FTP Transfer" option deselected (instead of defaults shown in table)

** If you deselect "Enable file transfer of standard files" (default is enabled) then those settings have their "Copy" option disabled, and their "FTP Transfer" option enabled in nearly all (see any qualifier) cases (as per defaults shown in table)
| Release 3.12.0
* '''The default selections assume you have air quality, and solar, sensors; so you may need to disable some of the defaults the above selections have made'''
* If you don't select '''I want to use the supplied default web site''', then all the settings marked ^ are disabled
** This is what you want if you do not use the MX optional web server functionality
** If you have a customised  web site, you may want to select '''I want to use the supplied default web site'''  to see the settings that would otherwise all be disabled, and then pick any options that would be useful to you.

** If station provides wind chill, then that will be used provided no multiplier/offsets have been specified for temperature or wind speed
** If station does NOT make a wind chill value available to Cumulus,  Cumulus MX reports an error if you have not ticked this setting, (that is different to how the setting worked with the legacy software).
Note that some stations (Fine Offset, for example), do not make a wind chill value available to Cumulus. For these, Cumulus always calculates it.
