[[Category:Cumulus Files]]
As the name suggests, this file '''/CumulusMX/data/cumulusmx.db''' (note case for Linux environments) is only applicable for MX.
=Database type=
This file holds a SQLite3 database.
=Releases 3.0.0 to 3.11.4 inclusive=
The database only contains one table '''StandardData'''.
Here is the relevant create table instruction, so this tells you the 17 fields in the file:
"LoPressure" float ,
"HiPressure" float )
Whenever I have viewed this table (with phpLiteAdmin), there has been zero rows within the table.
It is not documented anywhere I have seen what option you have to turn on in MX to start this database being updated. The file is created when you run MX, it is not included in the release distribution to ensure any data you have in the database table is kept when you install a new MX version.
<big>Could anyone who knows what option in MX updates this file, and in what context use is made of this database table, please explain it by amending this
=Release 3.12.0 onwards=
Release 3.12.0 introduces a second table '''RecentData''' into the same database. This is documented in the update.txt for CumulusMX at release 3.12.0 (beta build 3134) as "Change: Cumulus MX now uses a persistent database to store the recent 1 minute data
- This means that charts, recent webtags, and internal calculations for trends and periodic values will be more accurate after a restart
- If Cumulus MX is offline for a prolonged period, data for that offline period will obviously still be at the station logging interval resolution".
This second table has the following columns:
