'''Extra Sensors''' - any sensors whose readings are logged in the standard log file are not '''extra'''. You tick here if you want Cumulus to log sensors using the extra sensors log file. Both log files are known as monthly logs in that a new log is created for each new month. (This is nothing to do with the '''special log''' that Cumulus 1 maintained for multiple temperature and humidity readings, as it is not available in MX).

'''Debug logging''' is used to switch on extra debugging information (about what Cumulus does in its processing) in the [[MXDiags]] log file.  It only remains on until either it is turned off here or Cumulus is closed. Use [[Cumulus_MX#Parameter_for_adding_debugging|a parameter '''-debug''' for adding debugging]] when you start Cumulus if you want the debugging to persist.

'''Stop second instance'''  Invokes code that stops you having 2 copies of MX running at same time and conflicting.

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]].

The MX settings on this web page have a lot of similarities with the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#Sites.2FOptions_Tab|Cumulus 1 settings]]
