It can save lots of data in a file for review (errors, tracking details) if you do not wish to review. You can disable. If you wish to review, you decide the period to keep.

MLAT is not your position, is to share planes using MLAT

[jeanrobert]

Well i understand that MLAT is not my position.

What i say is i enter all informations in the configuration including my position and the MLAT is not working. Have a look in my monitor.txt file below.

If on a RPI, you will fill the SD Card pretty quickly if you have lots of traffic. I'm by no means a Linux/RPI wiz and chances are that I set things up wrongly, but I never got it to work for me - I filled my 32GB card very quickly even on rotation.

I noticed it by a regular downtime on my feed every day at 08:01
