As the log file for the current month will be updated frequently by Cumulus (when it is running), Cumulus applies an exclusive lock, and (as explained further below) conflicts can happen if another process seeks to access this file. Consequently don't let your antivirus scans access this file, nor try to edit it outside Cumulus while Cumulus is running.
Also note these log files do not include a header line, and should not be edited to include it.
 
The appropriate header file for the monthly data logs can be found for any installed version of Cumulus by looking for "monthlyfileheader.txt", in the directory above the 'data' directory containing the monthly log. The viewing methodsscreens for the two flavours, as described next, automatically includesinclude the header line above the tables they show.
 
A full discussion of the problems with conflicts of access to the monthly log file can be found [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=12721 in this support forum topic].
