Emil,

You will find a few clues in the Help! Posting to weewx user 
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user> page in 
the weeWX wiki <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki>.

Not sure how you installed weeWX but chances are your weeWX output is 
logged to the file /var/log/syslog. Open the file and see if you can find 
any weeWX activity, lines will look similar to:

Jan 17 09:40:15 stormbird weewx[10407]: manager: Added record 2018-01-17 09:
40:00 AEST (1516146000) to database 'weewx'
Jan 17 09:40:15 stormbird weewx[10407]: manager: Added record 2018-01-17 09:
40:00 AEST (1516146000) to daily summary in 'weewx'
Jan 17 09:40:16 stormbird weewx[10407]: engine: Clock error is 0.69 seconds 
(positive is fast)
Jan 17 09:40:16 stormbird weewx[10407]: restx: Wunderground-PWS: Published 
record 2018-01-17 09:40:00 AEST (1516146000)

If you are working on weeWX you can open another terminal window to monitor 
the log. Just open another terminal window, login as normal and run the 
command

$ tail -f -n 30 /var/log/syslog

This will display the last 30 lines of syslog and give you a live updating 
display of syslog so you can monitor the log as you run commands in your 
original window.

The most informative/helpful log extract is usually when debug = 1 in 
weewx.conf and you capture the weeWX startup and the first couple of 
archive records. To do this:

   1. edit weewx.conf, find the debug config option (near the top of the 
   file) and set debug = 1
   2. stop then start weeWX
   3. wait for weeWX to start up and process at least two archive records 
   this will take from two to three time your archive interval. You can 
   monitor what is happening by looking at the log in your second terminal.
   4. goto your log monitoring terminal or open /var/log/syslog and make a 
   copy of all the log entries from when you started weeWX until a couple of 
   archive records have been processed and subsequent reports/images generated
   5. post the log extract here

Getting back to the LOOP: and REC: output to your screen, I should have 
said that you will only see one REC: entry every archive interval (ie 
typically every 5 minutes). You will see some/many/lots of LOOP: entries 
between each REC entry, how many depends on your station. The REC: entries 
show the data that is/maybe saved to your archive. Just because something 
is in the LOOP: entries does not mean it will appear in REC: entries.
