=== Correcting an error in today's total rainfall ===
You can correct rainfall total (for current [[meteorological day]] since rollover).
Easy - correct today's total using the [[Today.ini#Editing_rainfall_in_today.ini_within_Cumulus | 'today's rain']] editor on the edit menu.▼
* [[File:Badge v1.png]]select 'Today's rain in the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu|edit menu]] accessed from main screen in Cumulus 1,▼
▲
▲* [[File:Badge v1.png]]select ''Today's rain'' in the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu|edit menu]] accessed from main screen in Cumulus 1,
* [[File:Badge vMx.png]]select '''Today's rain''' in the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#Today.27s_rain.27|edit menu]] of MX interface.
This edit will actually alter '''the start of day rainfall counter figure held by Cumulus internally''' (RAM):
* If you want today's rain to seem less (perhaps you, an animal, or the wind, knocked the rain gauge), Cumulus will increase the start of day counter
* If you want today's rain to seem greater (perhaps the rain gauge got blocked by a leaf, or a bird), Cumulus will decrease the start of day counter
* Be aware that if you stop Cumulus, and restart it, before end of meteorological day, internally held variables are lost, so the start of day figure will revert
Please note that this edit does not affect "rain rate", "maximum hourly rain", "maximum 24-hour rain", or "rain since midnight", nor does it update every data log line so it has correct rainfall counter reading. Also, if you ask MX to automatically insert a new row into a monthly table on your database server whenever a new line is stored in the [[Standard_log_files]], your database will retain incorrect values, as these are not updated by this correction.▼
▲Please note that this edit ''does not affect'' "rain rate", "maximum hourly rain", "maximum 24-hour rain", or "rain since midnight", ''nor does it update''
If you send rainfall data to:
* any third-party external web site
* MQTT or other local system
* any database tables (e.g. if you ask MX to automatically insert a new row into a monthly table on your database server whenever a new line is stored in the [[Standard_log_files]])
''then be aware that'' that this correction does '''not send any update''' for any messages/values '''already sent'''.
