You can also add '''CumulusMX.exe -debug''' (to have full debugging of actions by MX turned on as MX starts), and/or '''CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging). | You can also add '''CumulusMX.exe -debug''' (to have full debugging of actions by MX turned on as MX starts), and/or '''CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging). | ||

Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run. Obviously, it must be applied every time you start MX if you want this increased level of logging to continue every time you restart MX. | Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run.

The comments in the MX source suggests -debug turns on both debug and data logging (see [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Options|Station_Settings#Options]] in admin interface settings), but I believe that is wrong as per example above, there are 2 separate parameters. | The comments in the MX source suggests -debug turns on both debug and data logging (see [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Options|Station_Settings#Options]] in admin interface settings), but I believe that is wrong as per example above, there are 2 separate parameters. | ||

<big>The package described here has been replaced by '''ExportToMySQL.exe''', which is an improved version with slight differences in parameters and functionality. The new package is documented at [https://github.com/cumulusmx/ExportToMySQL Export To My SQL]</big> | |||
This second exe file (see link in heading) was available in the original MX beta package that Steve Loft developed in April 2015, it remained part of the standard release distribution until March 2021. As noted above, it is no longer part of the MX release distribution and has been replaced by Mark Crossley with a separate package with a slightly more meaningful name. | |||

Put simply, this executable will read log files and insert (insert ignore) rows into an existing database table. Since it only does inserts, despite the name of this function, it is not just for MySQL tables, the included SQL should work with whatever database table type you have. | Put simply, this executable will read log files and insert (insert ignore) rows into an existing database table.
