Importing Data Issue

[hankster]

Just setting up the template and having an issue with importing data. I use Weather Display and used the function built-in to create the import file and upload to the web site. The uploaded files look good and all of the info is metric. Here are the results of loading the txt file (all of this looks correct):

The tested file has 8644 data sets.
Field delimiter is comma (,)
First dataset is: 2017/11/01 00:00,15.0,100.0,1019.2,1.9,1.9,0.0,0.0,45,0.0
The header row contains 10 columns.
The data row contains 10 fields.
Loaded data:
Field Field Number Value (first data set)
YYYY/m/d H:i 0 2017/11/01 00:00
avtemperature(C) 1 15.0
avhumidity 2 100.0
avbarometer(hpa) 3 1019.2
avwindspeed(km/h) 4 1.9
gustspeed(km/h) 5 1.9
rainfall(mm) 6 0.0
rainrate(mm/hr) 7 0.0
avdirection 8 45
avsolar 9 0.0

When I run a test of the files it shows that the info would be imported as English measure with no conversion from metric as shown below.

Summary
The following would be imported to database:
Date/time: 2017-11-01 00:00
Temperature: 15.0 F
Dewpoint: 15 F
Apparent Temperature: 16.2 F
Humidity: 100.0 %
Pressure: 1019.20 inhg
Wind speed: 1.9 mph
Wind gust: 1.9 mph
Precipitation: 0.00 in
Rain rate: 0.00 in/h
Wind direction: 45 degrees
Solar radiation: No solar sensor - ignored.

Ideas???

Hi Hankster, just a thought here, when you were setting up the template, did you set the correct units before your import?

Hi Johnny, Been working with Jachym on this. I guess I just misunderstood the Summary output with the F, inhg, etc after the data. The units are all correct and everything imported correctly.

Oh Cool, that's good news, glad you're all sorted

Hi,
monthly log files (TXT)

[hankster]

In the logfiles directory you will see files named something like:

122017lg.txt
112017lg.txt
102017lg.txt
92017lg.txt

Thanks for reply!

Two questions:

1) I've just finisched to complete import section but there isn't any field about rain rate in weather display logfiles.
how can i fill rain rate field on meteotemplate import data?

2) WD logfiles has monthly and yearly rain amount but these fields isn't show on meteotemplate import data.
How can i do to import also these data?

Here it is how meteotemplate read WD logfile....is it correct?

You imported incorrectly. The option for "Date and Time Field" should be "Date and Time in a single field". Your field setup should then be as shown in the attachment.
