Cumulusutils.ini
Introduction
CumulusUtils is a configurable application and its parameters are stored in the file CumulusUtils.ini.
This page will list most parameters and if deemed necessary, a short explanation will be given. Most parameters will be discussed on the page of the module.
The phrase most parameters is used, because parameters - if non-existent - are created with their default values when used during a run of CumulusUtils. As not all parameters are needed, those not needed will not be seen by the user. Although through testing I assume my inifile has all parameters, I cannot guarantee that: the complexity has increased quickly and I may have missed some. You are invited to notify me or update this file yourself. (I and me being HansR)
The order of the parameters can be changed by the user and will be maintained. This can be handy in grouping parameters within sections, especially for the larger sections like Website and Graphs
Lines starting with a semicolon (';') are treated as comment and ignored.
Each parameter can be reset to its default by simply deleting it from the file. A new entry will be created with its default value on the next run, adding it to the end of the already existing section. A total reset of all parameters is accomplished by deleting this file, the user has to start from scratch.
Listing of the Parameters per section
[General]
LoggingOn=true
NormalMessageToConsole=true
TraceInfoLevel=Info
IgnoreDataErrors=true
GeneratejQueryInclude=false
DoLibraryIncludes=false
;Language=nl-NL
Language=en-GB
MonthsOfMiracleAndWonder=jan,feb,mrt,apr,mei,jun,jul,aug,sep,okt,nov,dec The month names used for the construction of the log filenames in case CUtils runs under another locale than CMX
ChartContainerHeight=700
ChartBackgroundImage=
UseScrollableTables=true NOTE: Used for Top10, Day Records and pwsFWI. The thin scrollbar does work with FireFox but not with Chrome
RecordsBeganDate=01/01/20 Normally used to trim your start year to 01/01/yy (note the 2-digit year) but any date within the dataset can be used
LastUploadTime=24/02/23 17:50 Internally used for the incremental data handling when using the PHP upload
CMXport=8998
UseSpecificHighchartsVersion= When empty the latest published version is used, when containing a version (e.g. 10.3.2), that version is used
The parameters GeneratejQueryInclude and DoLibraryIncludes require special attention. Please read the chapter on the modules for modular use of javascript libraries.

- DoneToday is not configurable but is set/read by the application. Any value you put here will be modified. If the date is today then the corresponding action will not be carried out. You can force the action by emptying this parameter.
- the Ecowitt CO2 sensor is not parameterised but its presence is detected by the presence of a value in the database.
- the Ecowitt AirQuality sensors have an implicit accompanying AirQualityAvg giving the 24 hr average
