Seems like your system uses systemd since you state that you tried "I run systemctl start weewx" Based on that weewx seems to have a unit file name of "weewx" Under Systemd you can use journalctl to query the contents of the systemd journal. You can pass it a unit file name, and start stop ranges alone with a lot of other options. You should be able to see all logging activity since 2023 02 01 with:
sudo journalctl -u weewx.service --since "2023-02-01" where -u is the unit name, --since is a date in YYYY-MM-DD format Also you can redirect output to a file to save it sudo journalctl -u weewx.service --since "2023-02-01">/var/tmp/weewx.log On Tue, Mar 14, 2023 at 7:40 AM Tom Keffer <[email protected]> wrote: > Take a look at the section *Where to find things > <http://www.weewx.com/docs/usersguide.htm#Where_to_find_things>* in the > User's Guide to locate your log. > > On Mon, Mar 13, 2023 at 7:27 PM MrPete <[email protected]> wrote: > >> My weewx was running reasonably well for a year. >> In Feb we left on a trip. >> I returned, and learned weewx stopped working back on Feb 22 >> Here's the strange part: NOTHING is being logged. >> >> /var/log/weewx.log has been empty since the end of January. >> >> I run systemctl start weewx and it blows up early on (the exact reason >> doesn't matter at this point -- a server communication failure) >> >> What seems important: systemctl status weewx sees the most recent error >> messages. >> >> But *I simply cannot find the log file!!* >> >> Any hints would be most welcome! >> Pete >> >> -- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups >> "weewx-user" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an >> email to [email protected]. >> To view this discussion on the web visit >> https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/fbd5b10d-53b7-4d19-a611-42b227c5adabn%40googlegroups.com >> <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/fbd5b10d-53b7-4d19-a611-42b227c5adabn%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> >> . >> > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "weewx-user" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/CAPq0zEC9ZP%3DuLa47ZYwXtYh%3DR28Eheg%3DAu3DYqvCuGbo-UJz7g%40mail.gmail.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/weewx-user/CAPq0zEC9ZP%3DuLa47ZYwXtYh%3DR28Eheg%3DAu3DYqvCuGbo-UJz7g%40mail.gmail.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
