 === -debug parameter for adding debugging ===
+This is only available for [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=138839#p138839 release 3.4.4 - Build 3068] onwards. This switches on debug and data logging from the start-up of Cumulus MX by adding a parameter:
+:<code>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -debug</code>
 MX has a default level of logging that stores in the [[MXdiags_folder]] folder a log file that shows some of the interaction with the weather station and some of the output actions done as MX runs. A new log is started each time MX is restarted.
-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 (on recent MX releases this is on '''Program Settings''' page of admin interface - please see [[MXdiags_folder]] page for details) or by adding a parameter:

 Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>sudo mono EXISTING PATH/CumulusMX/CumulusMX.exe -wsport nnnn</code> that determined which port (represented by a 4 digit number ''nnnn'') was used for '''Web Sockets'''.
-That parameter [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887&p=138815&hilit=sockets#p138815 is now deprecated as Web Sockets in all builds since 3045] use the same port for web sockets as for the HTTP port of the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#The_API_interface|Admin Interface]], see -port parameter described earlier.
+Note use of this parameter is now deprecated, as it has been incorporated into '''-port''' parameter described earlier.  The reason is that [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887&p=138815&hilit=sockets#p138815 Web Sockets in all builds since 3045] use the same port for web sockets as for the HTTP port of the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#The_API_interface|Admin Interface]].
 ==== -logging parameter for debugging of data flow between station and MX====
-Use '''sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
+Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1</code> (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
-Note use of this parameter is now deprecated.
-Although this is not mentioned in any release announcements, it appears that on all recent MX releases this effect is incorporated into the '''-debug''' parameter described earlier.  Perhaps someone could confirm whether this is true.
