+|This parameter (attribute=value) is ignored for MX prior to build 3018, it determines if (when you next start Cumulus) it will send enhanced information to a [[MXDiags_folder]] file about the data coming from your weather station.  It is important to record here that, if you subsequently stop Cumulus, this parameter is reset to zero on exit.
+*0 = default of normal output
+*1 = Set it to 1 to enable the enhanced output to the log that aids debugging if there is a problem
-With Cumulus stopped, you can edit the setting in the file and the new setting will apply when Cumulus is next started and it sets a local value by reading the configuration file. Debugging can also be switched on while you are running Cumulus, the new setting of enhanced debugging will stop when you exit Cumulus as you only edit the value held locally (you don't edit the configuration file).
+*If you leave Cumulus running, you can use the settings page in the admin interface to switch this extra logging on, or off, to change the detail logged in the diagnostic file while MX is running.
-*0 = default of normal output
+*Alternatively, with Cumulus stopped, you can edit the setting in the file, and the new setting will apply for the next MX session only.
-*1 = Set it to 1 to enable the enhanced output to the log that aids debugging if there is a problem.
+A related parameter is "Logging=0".  That controls level of diagnostic information being logged in the diagnostics file, about the processing being done by Cumulus.
