Re: [weewx-user] Crash reading from Vantage Pro 2 since v5

Hi Tom

1. Yes, it's the Weatherlink IP.
2. The log entries immediately before the ones I pasted are below. I've 
always seen IP connectivity issues, which I put down to the Weatherlink IP 
module's idiosyncrasies. When I see these happening I sometimes check to 
see if I can ping the IP address of the Weatherlink and it always responds, 
so I don't think there's any underlying network problem (it's all wired as 
well, there's no Wifi in the way).

The config I am using looks like this:

[Vantage] 
   driver = weewx.drivers.vantage 
   type = ethernet 
   host = 
   tcp_port = 2
   loop_request = 2

I've added in a systemd config to restart the weexwd if it crashes, but it 
would be nice to find out what's wrong and perhaps it should just keep 
retrying forever anyway?

Weirdly it has not crashed out today at all, however.

Thanks
Julian

Julian, a couple of questions:

1. These are ip-read and -write errors. What kind of logger are you using? 
A WeatherLink IP?

2. The log snippet shows code from when the driver is initially loaded, so 
it is unlikely to run 30 minutes in, unless this is actually a restart. 
Look farther back in the log and see what triggered the restart.

Most likely this is a network connectivity issue. The only substantive 
changes in the Vantage driver have been in reading and setting its 
configuration, particularly retransmitters.
