** Although this file is technically not a 'log file', it is optionally automatically produced by Cumulus, and follows a similar format to the other Log files.
[[Image:CumulusInternetSettingsScreen.png|thumb]] This is the legacy screen that controls production of this file. Standard Cumulus only uses this file for the optional real-time wind gauges (see [[#Where is the file used]]). It exists as one way that current Cumulus derivatives can be supplied to [[Category:User Contributions|third party additions]], and its content can be tailored to the needs of whatever you choose.
*The 'interval' sets how often Cumulus produces the file, to set that interval, click on the 'Configuration' menu then 'Internet', then set parameter labelled 'Realtime interval' by entering an integer number of seconds.
*Optionally the file can be uploaded to your [[Website_setup|externally-hosted web site]], if you want this (and it is usual) select all 3 selectors:
During a month (31 days) the upload process will consume roughly 175 Mbytes of bandwidth -- this is a tiny consideration as usually bandwidth restrictions from your provider start in the Gigabytes (Gb) range, not Megabytes (Mb).
On top of your internet connection bandwidth restrictions, you may also have bandwidth caps on your web server so this same figure should be considered for your web server.
