Your gosportwx.com/Reports/NOAAMO0922.txt is last updated September 3
I presume your NOAA Reports settings haven't changed, but double check all settings anyways.
Also check your MXdiags file with a midnight rollover to see what is happening - i.e.

2022-09-17 00:00:00.890 Extra files will be uploaded at next web update
And also check FTP log \CumulusMX\ftplog.txt (needs to be turned on but it could get pretty big if left too long)

Enjoy,

I presume your NOAA Reports settings haven't changed, but double check all settings anyways.

From your Dashboard  - Settings > NOAA settings - Go through all of the settings to have them the way you want, and then [Save] that settings page.

Also check your MXdiags file with a midnight rollover to see what is happening -

Through File Explorer go to \CumulusMX\MXdiags folder and with Notepad++ open 20220916-xxxxxx.txt file or 20220917-xxxxxx.txt file (whichever one has the time of midnight rollover diagnostics.  Search for NOAA.

And also check FTP log \CumulusMX\ftplog.txt (needs to be turned on but it could get pretty big if left too long)

You turn on or off FTP Log through Dashboard - Settings > Program Settings > Logging Options - FTP Logging.
Then through File Explorer open the file \CumuusMX\ftplog.txt  Since NOAA reports are only FTP at End of Day you need to have FTP logging on during that time.

seems it was a directory issue said it wasn't found when it clearly is listed on my FTP program.. currently i have it set to /cumx/Reports

and the main directory for the reports is /Reports not the cumx/Reports hmm must of been the update to cumulus i did and just didnt change the directory after the 4th.

so should it be /Reports/ or /Reports

Whether it needs a trailing / I think depends on the web host.  It usually is without but I have seen it both with and without.  Difficulty is that the automatic ftp for the NOAA files is only at midnight.  In the meantime you can manually ftp both files now.

Paul my next question is how can i prevent data spikes? like my station said we hit 112 on sept. 11th when we didn't and this wouldnt be the 1st time.

Hi,
In Settings > Calibration Settings there are a number of sensors for which you can set limits, etc.  Remember to [Save] after making any edits or changes on a settings page. 


In Settings > Alarms you can set a number of limits or status conditions at which CumulusMX would indicate either or both a warning on the local Dashboard page or send an email.

I don't mean to bring back an old thread but my data spikes every now and than like today it was 47 at one point then spiked to 73 with a wind gust of 281mph and 133 mph wind speed.. how do i keep this from happening? I don't understand how to use spike removal right now the settings are at default.
