The older 1.9.4 has a little ticker at the bottom that tells you when data was last read, when it is uploading to CWOP and it has a error ticker that lights up in the status tab, i find it great for ftp errors or when my web host is down!
Is this in MX somewhere?
"The older 1.9.4 has a little ticker at the bottom that tells you when data was last read"
CumulusMX dashboard shows last Cumulus update and last station update.
"when it is uploading to CWOP and it has a error ticker that lights up in the status tab"
Cumulus dashboard or interface does not indicate 3rd party uploads or error indicator. However details are in the MXdiags, with further details shown if you have Debug, Data and FTP logging enabled.
You likely could reprogram the dashboard "interface" files to include such things but beyond me to suggest how.
Enjoy,
