When Cumulus is restarted, if the weather station provides historical catch-up data, then the interval between entries for that period when Cumulus was not running, is stored at whatever interval the historical catch-up data uses. Entries less than a week old, from when MX was previously running will be retained, and those will be at one minute interval.
= How is the functionality used
By a request to Cumulus specifying 1 to 10 079 minutes (equals 7 days) ago. Then Cumulus will retrieve the value for the nearest available time.
The normal way to retrieve a specific value is by using
You'll get the nearest value if you ask for a time for which there is currently no exact match, and the first tag [[Webtags#Recent_History|listed here]] tells you that nearest time.
There are a number of internal calculations, such as calculating [[Average temperature]], [[Heat/cold degree days and Chill hours]], which use the recent history data stored in the Recent History Database for CumulusMX. These data are also used for the standard [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Charts|charts]] and the JSON data for the charts on the standard website and many other websites. See: [[:Category:JSON_Files#Uploading_data_to_a_web_server_outside_MX:|Uploading data to a webserver outside CumulusMX ]] .
