You didn't set debug=1, but that looks normal. The earliest record in your Vantage logger appears to be 2020-09-14 22:05:00 NZST.
You can double check by using the wee_device utility, using the --logger-summary option and a file name. Make sure you stop weewx first. *wee_device --logger-summary=/var/tmp/logger_summary.txt* This will take a few minutes, but it will record in logger_summary.txt what's in the logger. -tk On Mon, Sep 14, 2020 at 6:07 PM John Blanchard <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it something to do with the PID?? the file /var/run/weewx.pid seem to > be there when weewx is running and hold a number such as 4738, but > disappears when you stop weewx > > On Tuesday, 15 September 2020 at 12:54:28 UTC+12 John Blanchard wrote: > >> >> >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4734] INFO __main__: PID file is >> /var/run/weewx.pid >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4722]: Starting weewx weather >> system: weewx. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds systemd[1]: Started LSB: weewx weather >> system. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO __main__: Using >> configuration file /etc/weewx/weewx.conf >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO __main__: Debug is 0 >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Loading >> station type Vantage (weewx.drivers.vantage) >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: StdConvert >> target unit is 0x1 >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Created >> and initialized table 'archive' in database 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Created >> daily summary tables >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.wxservices: The >> following values will be calculated: pressure=prefer_hardware, >> altimeter=prefer_hardware, appTemp=prefer_hardware, >> barometer=prefer_hardware, beaufort=prefer_hardware, >> cloudbase=prefer_hardware, dewpoint=prefer_hardware, ET=prefer_hardware, >> heatindex=prefer_hardware, humidex=prefer_hardware, >> inDewpoint=prefer_hardware, maxSolarRad=prefer_hardware, >> rainRate=prefer_hardware, windchill=prefer_hardware, windrun=prefer_hardware >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.wxservices: The >> following algorithms will be used for calculations: altimeter=aaASOS, >> maxSolarRad=RS >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Archive >> will use data binding wx_binding >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Record >> generation will be attempted in 'hardware' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Using >> archive interval of 300 seconds (specified by hardware) >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: >> StationRegistry: Registration not requested. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: >> Wunderground: Posting not enabled. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: PWSweather: >> Posting not enabled. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: CWOP: >> Posting not enabled. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: WOW: Posting >> not enabled. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.restx: AWEKAS: >> Posting not enabled. >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO __main__: Starting up >> weewx version 4.1.1 >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Clock error >> is -0.52 seconds (positive is fast) >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Using >> binding 'wx_binding' to database 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Starting >> backfill of daily summaries >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:05:00 NZST (1600077900) to database 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:05:00 NZST (1600077900) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:10:00 NZST (1600078200) to database 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:10:00 NZST (1600078200) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:33 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:15:00 NZST (1600078500) to database 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:34 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:15:00 NZST (1600078500) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' >> Sep 15 12:40:34 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.manager: Added >> record 2020-09-14 22:20:00 NZST (1600078800) to database 'weewx.sdb' >> >> Continues backfilling until current time then shows >> >> Sep 15 12:41:10 weewx-reynolds weewx[4738] INFO weewx.engine: Starting >> main packet loop. >> On Tuesday, 15 September 2020 at 10:06:38 UTC+12 [email protected] wrote: >> >>> If it's still doing it, we will need to see a log.
