[weewx-user] Re: Manjaro - help seeing data from Vantage Pro 2
I discovered that using the python install method, which I have to use for Manjaro, does not include the python serial module. It was in the repository, and once I installed it, weewx downloaded data in terminal. Now that I have the data, how do I see graphs and charts. Does that require an extension or is there something else I need to install? Thanks. I will research this to see if I can figure it out, but any advice is welcome.

Is it because I chose ttyusb0 and I should choose a different one, and if so, how do I know which one? I appreciate all of the help.

Hi Vince, I ran the journalctl command but don't know how to pipe it to the grep command you provided. I tried running it in a second terminal but to no avail. I researched the grep command and saw some syntax examples, but none of them seemed to apply. Thank you for your input.

Thanks for the help mwall. Journalctl does show me log data, but the amount of data is voluminous, and I can't find any logs on weewx. Is there a way to filter the results so that I can see the weewx logs? As for syslog, I tried 'sudo pacman -S syslog-ng',but it didn't return anything. It appeared to be looking for syslog to install, but each attempt gave error 404.
