Next you have to decide where and how the realtime log file will be created. The zip file contains a simple Windows batch file that will create a log file of a specified length. If you have a Windows web server you could run it directly on there (this is how I do it), or run it on your Cumulus computer and get Cumulus to upload the log file periodically.

A third alternative is to use [[Toolbox|Cumulus Toolbox]], which has the option to create a realtimelog.txt in your Cumulus folder, You can then use Toolbox to copy of FTP this file to your web server. Toolbox has has the option to 'prune' the logfile, with a granularity of 1 day.
