If there is a problem, then there is a great benefit in actually increasing the level of detail in these logs; and that is done either within the settings ('''options''' section of ''station settings'') in admin interface while MX is running, or by adding 1 or 2 parameters when you start MX. Obviously this log file continues to grow, the longer MX is left running, and if debugging is switched on the file will grow in size must faster. Consequently, the default is not to add the extra debugging information and the settings can be used to switch it off again if you do have it switched on. Whether you start it with a parameter or enable it within settings, stopping MX will end the extra debugging, and on restart it will default back to no debugging unless turned on again with parameter or setting. | If there is a problem, then there is a great benefit in actually increasing the level of detail in these logs; and that is done either within the settings ('''options''' section of ''station settings'') in admin interface while MX is running, or by adding 1 or 2 parameters when you start MX.

See [[ | See [[Migrating from Cumulus 1 to MX]] article. If you wish to run MX on Windows, then you can unzip the contents of the download package over your original cumulus installation, i.e. so the same data and Reports folders continue to be used. But it would be best if you take a back-up copy of the Cumulus 1 installation first! If you are going to run MX on another device, follow instructions in next sub-section. | ||
The package contains several extra .dll files, and everything else you need, to continue to read from your weather station, to load up the [[MX Administrative Interface|admin interface]] on a Cumulus generated web server (there are some settings you will need to change using that interface), and some simple web template examples (that replace the standard Cumulus 1 example templates). You might want to read topics on the MX support forum to discover about other people's experiences. | The package contains several extra .dll files, and everything else you need, to continue to read from your weather station, to load up the [[MX Administrative Interface|admin interface]] on a Cumulus generated web server (there are some settings you will need to change using that interface), and some simple web template examples (that replace the standard Cumulus 1 example templates).
