*The way that MX has been written is inconsistent in the way it deals with fields that MX now expects but at the time that any log line was created did not exist. When adding the missing fields, some are added with empty string as content and some are added with a single space as content. When the editing modal is opened it may display placeholder text where a missing field is empty, but if you don't see that place-holder, there is probably a space included in the supposedly empty field (that you can't see), but that space (if not removed) could muck up any number you now want to store there. | *The way that MX has been written is inconsistent in the way it deals with fields that MX now expects but at the time that any log line was created did not exist.

*If you do edit a line, and then '''Save''', then that particular line (but no others in the log file) will change its length to that used by the current version of MX and you will see additional trailing field separators (commas, semicolons, or whatever defined for your locale) in that line making it seem different from its neighbours. Again you may spot an inconsistency in content as some gaps may appear between delimiters where spaces have been added for fields that were originally missing. | *If you do edit a line, and then '''Save''', then that particular line (but no others in the log file) will change its length to that used by the current version of MX and you will see additional trailing field separators (commas, semicolons, or whatever defined for your locale) in that line making it seem different from its neighbours.

The '''debug logging''', '''data logging''', and '''stop second instance''' options (each of which can be enabled or disabled) are on this page of the admin interface from version 3.9.4 onwards. For earlier versions, the same options are on the ''Station settings page'' and so [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Options|described for that next section]]. | |||
The other options on this page are new, and not available in earlier versions. | |||

Each setting has a hint beside it (with a small 'i' for information before each hint). If you have used [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Station|Cumulus 1]], the layout and section headings will be familiar. No settings takes effect until '''Save''' button pressed. | Each setting has a hint beside it (with a small 'i' for information before each hint).

Some settings don't take full effect unless, after saving the change, you restart MX. There is not yet a definitive list of which settings are only read when MX is started, but for example from build 3048 onwards the '''enable/disable Realtime FTP''' setting does not need a restart, but for earlier builds of MX it does. | |||
All retain their settings when MX is restarted. No settings take effect until '''Save''' button pressed. This includes '''FTP logging''' in '''Web/FTP settings''' section, (it is not in this image as it is further down), which is used to add additional information to [[MXDiags]] about standard File Transfer Process actions; it will persist across stopping and restarting MX, so you must switch it off here (or with MX stopped within [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_FTP_site|Cumulus.ini '''FTP site''' section]]. | All retain their settings when MX is restarted.
