This night my AirLink was powered off (forgot to reconfigure the outdoor power-outlet) which resulted in a series of continuous restarts of the data logger. Since such connectivity problems to a specific device are kind of common, I wondering whether it could be a problem to restart the logger for all stations over and over again.

Or would it be feasible to only restart the affected station ?

Thanks
Bernd

There are some kinds of stations that need a complete un-powering of the USB ports to get back to live after a hang-up. This is the reason, why Meteobridge stops logging completely after having tried to restart connection to a certain device a few times without results.

Newest release will have a switch where you can decide per station if a lacking of data should initiate a restart of the logger.

Meteobridge does anyway react on a connection break down to a certain station. When you use a user-defined plugin to deliver data, then terminating this plugin will force Meteobridge to start it again. Connections to other stations should not be impacted. Therefore, I recommend to have your scripts working in a way, that they terminate in case no data coming in from sensors for a certain time. Meteobridge will then restart this process again.

Thanks and I just was curious why meteobridge is restarting the whole datalogger, not at all non-coolness of the logs (although it felt a bit spammy).
And I haven't experienced any issues with the complete restart.

Next update will have the restart behaviour ("restart just impacted station" vs "restart all stations") selectable for every station.
