Although not technically a 'log file' is is automatically produced by Cumulus and follows a similar format to the other Log files.

realtime.txt is a text file with a single line of space separated values. It contains a list of key values of the sensors and is updated frequently.

Using cumulus you decide how often to update the file -- for example every 15 seconds. This is then uploaded to your website and used to produce near instant readings.

To set how often the file is produced by Cumulus, click on the 'Configuration' menu then 'Internet' (Click the thumbnail opposite)


Notes:

  • The realtime.txt file is NOT a log file and is constantly replaced. It does not therefore contain any historic data.
  • The 'interval' sets how often Cumulus produces and uploads to the website


Where is the files used

The realtime.txt is used by:

  • the 'gagues' page on the website produced by Cumulus
  • CumulusRealtime -- the new application developed in SilverLight
