=== -debug parameter for adding debugging ===
 
This is only available for [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=138839#p138839 release 3.4.4 - Build 3068] onwards. This switches on debug and data logging from the start-up of Cumulus MX by adding a parameter:
:<code>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -debug</code>
 
MX has a default level of logging that stores in the [[MXdiags_folder]] folder a log file that shows some 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.
 
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:Category:Diagnostics]] page for details) or by adding a parameter:the above command.
:<code>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -debug</code>
 
=== Parameters only applicable to Version 3.0.0 Beta builds of MX ===
Beta builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>sudo mono EXISTING PATH/CumulusMX/CumulusMX.exe -wsport nnnn</code> that determined which port (represented by a 4 digit number ''nnnn'') was used for '''Web Sockets'''.
 
ThatNote use of this parameter is now deprecated, as it has been incorporated into '''-port''' parameter described earlier. The reason is that [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 described earlier.
 
==== -logging parameter for debugging of data flow between station and MX====
 
UseBeta '''builds in MX version 3.0.0 had an optional parameter <code>sudo mono CumulusMX.exe -Logging=1'''</code> (for the station to MX transfers to have increased debugging logging).
 
Note use of this parameter is now deprecated.
 
Note use of this parameter is now deprecated, as it has been incorporated into '''-debug''', see above.
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 described earlier. Perhaps someone could confirm whether this is true.
