I was working on implementing JPgraph on my website and could not get a graph showing rain from the last 30 days to show. It appears that my Clientrawdaily.txt doesn’t contain any rain data despite having had rain. This was verified using tnet’s parser (NameBright - Domain Expired).
I don’t know if it matters but I did make a switch from an OS 968 to a Davis VP2+ last week.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
Tony
Did the console record the rain? Is rain recorded in the log file? In the station config the rain bucket size sticks on the last one selected/un-selected so make sure you un-select all and then tick the one you need last before exit/save.
I have had a thought about this, since there is rain in other offsets of the clientraw files perhaps you need to recreate the 31 day graphs and see if it picks up the rain.
Stuart
yes, try recreating last months and then this months data file and then recreate the last 31 days data file
(assuming the logfiles 62007lg.txt and 72007lg.txt have correct rain totals for each day )
Thank you all to your replies!

I may be trying the wrong thing… The 62007lg.txt and 72007lg.txt do have the rain totals. So I go to Action, Convert Log Files to Graphs. Select 62007lg.txt and then Convert. Same for 72007lg.txt. Then Recreate the Last 31 Days Graph Data. I do that and nothing changes. Looking at the timestamp on the Clientrawdaily.txt it did not change. :?
Thanks again!
Tony
That’s because the clientrawdaily only gets built occasionally. I know if you restart WD it gets re-built so you could try that.
Stuart
Well, that didn’t work. The Clientrawdaily.txt gets updated but it just doesn’t reflect the rain totals that are in the main log files. Not sure what the deal is.
Tony
Just noticed that inside WD itself, one place does not reflect the recent rain (View, Temp/Wind/Rain Chart) while the other (View Rain Chart) does - see attached. Related?
The gap from the 5th to the 14th is expected as my computer had a bit of a problem while I was gone on vacation. 
Tony
that gap you see is the source of the problem for the data for the graphs for WDL
the other data is derived from the wdisplay.ini file (for rain for last 7 days)

Hmmm. WDL is accumulating the total but you are right, the past 30 days is not working. http://www.thorntonweather.com/wx10.php
Is there a way to correct this and get Clientrawdaily.txt to show the data? After the “outage”, I did go in and manually enter the highs and lows in the log files for the missing days. Perhaps do something similar to correct the rain?
Thanks to all!
Tony
you would need to at least put in the day change over times in the logfile (i.e midnight, say 10 entries before and a few entries after midnight)
and then recreate the data file from that updated logfile and then recreate the last 31 days data file
you would need to at least put in the day change over times in the logfile (i.e midnight, say 10 entries before and a few entries after midnight)
Okay, I will give that a shot. I did already add a few entries on each day when the problem happened but only for temperatures so that the highs and lows would be there. I’ll add a bunch more dummy ones on each day and see what happens.
Thanks for the help!

Hmmm. No go. I added dummy entries on each of the problem days - 10 or 12 before midnight and another 10 or 12 after midnight - in addition to the ones I had already done to 72007lg.txt. That didn’t work.
But as I read what you said I am confused… After I did that, I did the Action, Convert Log Files to Graphs, Convert, then Recreate the last 31 days graph data. Is that correct? What you wrote makes me think I maybe was supposed to do something different - perhaps the “Convert last 31 days data into current data file”.
I am so confused!!! :?

You bet. Here are all of the lines I added for one of the problem days. I originally did this just to get the highs and low temps for the missing days added and that worked and all seemed fine until I discovered this rain issue.

Thanks, Brian!
Also, I don’t know if it would be useful but I will attach the entire portion of the log that I “dummied up.” The first line is the last ‘normal’ data WD received and the last line is the first ‘normal’ data it received after I got things back up and runing.
Thanks again!
Tony
log.txt (22.1 KB)
that in theory should work
but .zip and email me the whole logfile and i will check out what is and what is not happening
Brian,
I sent that to you a couple days ago - just want to make sure you got it. Thanks again for the help!
Tony
been too busy lately, sorry, will have a look
i cant find it,must have got buried too deeply
please resend
No problem at all - on its way.
Tony
