View station data details

Use Manage Data to check the selected station’s connection, stored observations, summaries, missing-data state, and database files.

  1. Use the station picker to select the station you want to inspect.
  2. Open Manage Data:
    • On iPhone or iPad, choose Settings › Manage Data, or open Station and tap the Manage Data icon in the toolbar.
    • On Mac, choose View › Inspectors › Data. If the Inspector is hidden, choose View › Show Inspector first.
  3. Open a section to see its details:
    • [Connection service] API shows connection status, request cadence, historical-download availability, and applicable request limits.
    • Real Time shows when the current snapshot was generated, its date range, observation count, and available metrics.
    • Historical shows the last sync, stored date range, observation and summary counts, available metrics, and missing observations.
    • Database shows the database file name, database size, and write-ahead log size. On Mac, click the file name to reveal the station database package in Finder.

The counts and ranges summarize stored data. To inspect individual stored observations or period summaries, follow Inspect observations. Historical Observation Data also opens the selected period on iPhone and iPad.

For every field and status, see Manage Data reference. For repair and backup actions, see Data management reference.
