=Introduction= | |||
The introduction to [[:Category:Diagnostics|Diagnostics article]] is the place to look for general information about the files described here for Cumulus 1. | |||
This page is only for Cumulus 1 users, please see [[MXdiags_folder]] for equivalent if you use Cumulus MX. | |||
=File type, and content= | |||
All diagnostic log files are simple text files, with multiple lines (inside a file) containing the time and a description of each event. | All diagnostic log files are simple text files, with multiple lines (inside a file) containing the time and a description of each event. | ||

These latter files log many of the actions performed by Cumulus 1. They will show the [[:Category:Cumulus Files|Cumulus specific files]] that have been accessed, values found (or calculated) from log files, before and after values for updates to highs and lows for monthly and annual extreme records, rejected spikes, and much more. | These latter files log many of the actions performed by Cumulus 1.

== File growth and deletion == | |||
A new file is created in this sub-folder each time Cumulus is restarted, after deleting the oldest and renaming the other old files to maintain the naming sequence. | |||
Entries are added to the '''cumulus.~og''' file while Cumulus is left running, regardless of whether debugging is on or off (see example above). | |||
To avoid loss (or inaccuracy) of readings being processed from your weather station, it is best if Cumulus is left running, and not restarted except when unavoidable. Consequently, the current diagnostic files will grow in size. If the file is left to grow too large, Cumulus will crash. Therefore, you may want to delete these files. | |||
Any diagnostic file can be deleted at any time as Cumulus does not read from them. Cumulus creates a new file if necessary to continue its logging. | |||
