Category:Log Files: Difference between revisions

* don't add any header lines to any log files where Cumulus needs to read the file as well as update it (Cumulus reads all log files except Alltimelog.txt).

== TYPES ==

# '''.ini''' files - these hold values that represent sums, counts, or extremes, for cumulus to read, and update, as it reads the weather observations.

# '''.txt''' files - these are the logs that Cumulus updates at defined intervals to hold details of what has happened, but it can also read these files when requested.

# '''.xml''' file - this holds the [[Weather_Diary]]. Although it uses standard XML, the component that Cumulus 1 uses also writes a special value that other XML editors will not understand.

# '''.log''' file - cumulus 1 writes either "Logging Disabled" messages or logs its actions in detail for debugging purposes into [[debug.log]].
