If you upload the log file to your web site, then see(with [[AnnualDataSummary]]the forhelp informationof aboutJavaScript) oneyou ofcan read the wayslog file to obtain information to show valueson a web page. I once had a web page that showed a today.htm like table for the last 7 days by combining reading Cumulus web tags with reading from thisthe log file. Search the Cumulus support forum to see ways(for thatexample) howt others extract information from dayfile.txt to display on their web page a set of fields similar to those shown for 'Yesterday.htm' web page for other dates in the past. Other people use dayfile.txt for [[ImportCumulusFile|updating databases]] stored on their web sites so that SQL can be used to display all sorts of statistics, againsuch postingsas onone theyear forumago. discuss this.
 
If you use a script to read what is in the daily summary log file into a database table, or use the functionality in Cumulus MX to upload automatically to a database table, then see [[DataSummary]] article for information about ALL of the ways to show values from this database table.
