Hi, Greg
weewx V4 uses a new logging facility, Python's module 'logging', which
requires that one set up logging handlers. The handler "syslog" is designed
to (roughly) emulate the previous syslog logging. To set it up, you must
specify a destination (called 'address') and a 'facility', which vary from
OS to OS. I suspect that the defaults that weewx is picking for NetBSD are
wrong.
Take a look at the top of file weeutil/logger.py where these destinations
are coded in. It looks like:
if sys.platform == "darwin":
address = '/var/run/syslog'
facility = 'local1'
elif sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
address = '/dev/log'
facility = 'user'
elif sys.platform.startswith('freebsd'):
address = '/var/run/log'
facility = 'user'
else:
address = ('localhost', 514)
facility = 'user'
I don't know which branch NetBSD would take. Either 'freebsd' or the
default, I imagine. Obviously, what it's choosing isn't working out.
Perhaps you can supply an alternative for NetBSD? It may be as simple as a
different file path for 'address'.
