This was part of the output you would have seen when you ran weewx directly using sudo weewxd /etc/weewx/weewx.conf. Since you only showed us a couple of loop packets things could be running fine, its hard to say with such a small snapshot. The loop packets were 5 seconds apart, if you station emits loop packets every 5 seconds then this is fine, if it emits loop packets every 2 seconds then maybe there is an issue. Having a look at a good couple of archive periods of output would give a better feel for things rather than just a couple of loop packets. We would also see some archive records (they occur once per archive period) and start with REC: on screen. Would also be handy to know the station type/model.
You might want to have a read through Loop packets vs. archive records <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#_________LOOP_packets_vs._archive_records_______> in the Customization Guide <http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm> - it will give you a bit of background. Also, have a look at your log (likely /var/log/syslog) from when you start weeWX, you will see a whole pile of info there as to how your station and weeWX are configured. teh log is good for seeing startup config and events as they happen (including errors). Screen output from running weeWX directly is handy for seeing the actual data weeWX gets off the station. nginx will have nothing to do it, nginx is purely serving web pages/data to your browser, the sleeping/retrying etc is weeWX interacting with your weather station. > One other thing....I have not done anything about setting up the NTP > Daemon thing....do I need to do that also? > Horses for courses. If it were me I would get NTP setup and working properly. Correct time is critical for weeWX to operate trouble free, some really bad and unusual things happen if weeWX and your station have significantly different times. That being said, once you have the correct time set all will likely be well until you have to reboot or turn your RPi off or there is a power interruption. RPis (as distinct from a desktop type PC or laptop) are a common source of concern as they have no battery backed clock for when the power is off, they have a fake hardware clock that can come up in the past. Various improvements have been applied to weeWX over the years to make it better handle temporal displacements and it is probably the best it has been but as a minimum I would get NTP up and running and I would also consider an add-on battery backed RTC module, they are just a couple of dollars on ebay or the like.
