The following two parameters are not available since MX came out of 3.0.0 beta.
 
=== -wsport parameter for web sockets ===
 
Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>CumulusMX -wsport nnnn</code> that determined which port (represented by a 4 digit number ''nnnn'') was used for '''Web Sockets'''.
That parameter [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=17887&p=138815&hilit=sockets#p138815 is now deprecated as Web Sockets in all builds since 3045] use the same port for web sockets as for the HTTP port of the [[MX_Administrative_Interface#The_API_interface|Admin Interface], see Port parameter below.
 
=== Debugging-Logging parameter for debugging of data flow between station and MX===
 
Use '''CumulusMX -Logging=1''' (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
Although this is not mentioned in any release announcements, it appears that on all recent MX releases this effect is incorporated into the '''-debug''' parameter. Perhaps someone could confirm whether this is true.
 
==Parameter -install parameter for installing as Windows Service==
 
Use '''CumulusMX -install''' to install MX as a service.
 
==Parameter -uninstall parameter for uninstalling the Windows Service==
 
Use '''CumulusMX -uninstall''' to uninstall the service that runs MX.
 
== Parameter-Port parameter for changing HTTP Port ==
 
When Cumulus starts, it will display the URL of the user interface.
:<code>CumulusMX -port 9999</code>
 
== Parameter-debug parameter for adding debugging ==
 
MX has a default level of logging that stores in the [[MXdiags_folder]] folder a log file that shows someminimal details of the interaction with the weather station and some of the output actions done as MX runs. A new log is started each time MX is restarted, and when a log reaches a particular size, so the log cannot keep growing.
 
If there is a problem, then there is a great benefit in actually increasing the level of detail in these logs; and that is done either within the settings (on recent MX releases this is on '''Program Settings''' page of admin interface - please see [[MXdiags_folder]] page for details) or by adding a parameter as you start running MX:
:<code>CumulusMX -debug</code>
 
Obviously this log file continues to grow, the longer MX is left running, and if debugging is switched on the file will grow in size must faster. Consequently, the default is not to add the extra debugging information and the settings can be used to switch it off again if you do have it switched on. Since this parameter is applied when you start MX, it applies while MX continues to run. Obviously, it must be applied every time you start MX if you want this increased level of logging to continue every time you restart MX.
