Thanks. The logs indicate that you have the SteelSeries skin <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/steelseries> installed and the Realtime gauge-data extension <https://github.com/gjr80/weewx-realtime_gauge-data>, if installed, is not enabled. The SteelSeries skin generates gauge-data.txt during the report cycle at the end of every archive period, in your case every five minutes. The wiki you are referring to is for the Realtime gauge-data extension which can generate gauge-data.txt on receipt of each loop packet, in your case every 2.5 odd seconds. The setting for the Realtime gauge-data extension have no effect on the SteelSeries skin.
If you want gauge-data.txt to be generated on every loop packet then you need to install (or enable if already installed) the Realtime gauge-data extension. Note you will then. need to disable generation of gauge-data.txt by the SteelSeries skin or you will have the skin and the extension both generating gauge-data.txt. This would be bad.
