Debug.log: Difference between revisions

A new file is created each time Cumulus is restarted, after deleting the oldest and renaming the other old files to maintain the naming sequence. If debugging is switched off, periodically a message, confirming that as shown earlier, is added to the '''debug.log''' file, so it grows in size even when full diagnostics are not being stored.

To avoid loss (or inaccuracy) of readings being processed from your weather station, it is best if Cumulus is left running, and not restarted except when unavoidable. Consequently, the current'''debug.log''' diagnostic filesfile will continually grow in size. If the file is left to grow too large, Cumulus will crash. Therefore, you may'''should''' wantdelete tothis deletefile theseperiodically files.

Any diagnostic file can be deleted, at any time, as Cumulus does not read from them. Cumulus creates a new file if necessary to continue its logging.
