Sorry this has taken a couple of days, unfortunately there is more to life 
than weeWX :)

Some background for others who stumble on this.

If you are using the SteelSeries Gauges skin to produce gauge-data.txt then 
you can use the normal weeWX FTP or Rsync reports to upload gauge-data.txt; 
gauge-data.txt is only generated once per archive interval so there is no 
need to upload it any more freuently. If you are using the Realtime 
gauge-data (RTGD) extension which can generate gauge-data.txt as often as 
once per loop period, the weeWX FTP and Rsync reports can still be used but 
they will still only upload gauge-data.txt once per archive interval. If 
your web server is the same machine as your weeWX server the issue can be 
addressed by having the RTGD extension save gauge-data.txt to an 
approparite directory accessible by the web server. If your web server is 
remote to your weeWX machine one approach is to have the RTGD extension 
transfer gauge-data.txt to your web server via HTTP POST. You could also 
conceivably have some external method of transferring the file by FTP or 
RSYNC; CRON based transfers are of limited use as CRON has a 1 minute 
'resolution'. WeeWX has no builtin mechanism for transferring files every 
loop period; it only has the report based transfer reports that work on an 
archive interval period.

To have the RTGD extension transfer gauge-data.txt to your web server via 
HTTP POST refer to the section Using HTTP POST to transfer gauge-data.txt 
to a remote server 
<https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-realtime_gauge-data/wiki/User's-Guide#using-http-post-to-transfer-gauge-datatxt-to-a-remote-server>
 
in the RTGD extension User's Guide. Bear in mind this was wrritten about 8 
months agao, I have reviewed it quickly thismorning and believe it is still 
correct, though if you find any issues please let me know.
