John,
Here is the Realtime Gauges section of weewx.conf:
[RealtimeGaugeData]
# Date format to be used in gauge-data.txt. Must be either %d/%m/%Y,
# %m/%d/%Y or %Y/%m/%d. Separator may be forward slash '/' or a
# hyphen '-'. Default is %Y/%m/%d.
date_format = %m/%d/%Y
# Time format to be used in gauge-data.txt. May be %H:%M or %h:%M.
# Default is %H:%M
time_format = %H:%M
# Path to gauge-data.txt. Relative paths are relative to HTML_ROOT. If
# empty default is HTML_ROOT. If setting omitted altogether default is
# /var/tmp
rtgd_path = /var/www/html/weewx/steelseries
# File name (only) of file produced by rtgd. Optional, default is
# gauge-data.txt.
rtgd_file_name = gauge-data.txt
# Remote URL to which the gauge-data.txt data will be posted via HTTP
POST.
# Optional, omit to disable HTTP POST.
# If remote_server_url is specified, do not specify an rsync server.
# remote_server_url = http://remote/address
# timeout in seconds for remote URL posts. Optional, default is 2
timeout = 1
# Text returned from remote URL indicating success. Optional, default
is no
# response text.
response_text = success
# Remote host to which the gauge-data.txt data will be synced via rsync.
# Optional, omit to disable rsync to remote host.
# If rsync_server is specified, do not specify a remote_server_url.
#
# Note: The rsync feature will only work in WeeWX v.4 and above. In
earlier
# versions, rsyncing of single files is not supported by WeeWX' rsync
# help function.
#
# To use rsync, passwordless ssh using public/private key must be
# configured for authentication from the user account that WeeWX runs
under on
# this computer to the user account on the remote machine with write
access to
# the destination directory (rsync_remote_rtgd_dir).
#
# If you run logwatch on your system, the following lines will show in
the
# WeeWX section when they are non-zero. The first line includes any
# reporting files rsynced (if that is configured). The others report
timeouts
# and write errors. Small numbers are expected here as timeouts are
purposely
# defaulted to 1 second. If taking to long to send, it's better to
skip it
# and send the next (as in fresher) gauge-data.txt file.
#

# Fill out the following fields:
# rsync_server : The server to which gauge-data.txt will
be copied.
# rsync_user : The userid on rsync_server with write
# permission to rsync_remote_rtgd_dir.
# rsync_remote_rtgd_dir : The directory on rsync_server where
# gauge-data.txt will be copied.
# rsync_compress : True to compress the file before sending.
# Default is False.
# rsync_log_success : True to write success with timing
messages to
# the log (for debugging). Default is
False.
# rsync_ssh_options : ssh options Default is '-o
ConnectTimeout=1'
# (When connecting, time out in 1 second.)
# rsync_timeout : I/O timeout. Default is 1. (When
sending,
# timeout in 1 second.)
# rsync_skip_if_older_than : Don't bother to rsync if greater than
this
# number of seconds. Default is 4. (Skip
this
# and move on to the next if this data is
older
# than 4 seconds.
# Use either the post method or the rsync method, not both.

# Minimum interval (seconds) between file generation. Ideally
# gauge-data.txt would be generated on receipt of every loop packet
(there
# is no point in generating more frequently than this); however, in some
# cases the user may wish to generate gauge-data.txt less frequently.
The
# min_interval option sets the minimum time between successive
# gauge-data.txt generations. Generation will be skipped on arrival of a
# loop packet if min_interval seconds have NOT elapsed since the last
# generation. If min_interval is 0 or omitted generation will occur on
# every loop packet (as will be the case if min_interval < station loop
# period). Optional, default is 0.

# The SteelSeries Weather Gauges displays the content of the
gauge-data.txt
# 'forecast' field in the scrolling text display. The RTGD service can
# populate the 'forecast' field from a number of sources. The available
# sources are:
#
# 1. a user specified text
# 2. the first line of a text file
# 3. Weather Underground forecast from the Weather Underground API
# 4. Darksky forecast from the Darksky API
# 5. Zambretti forecast from the WeeWX forecast extension
#
# The block to be used is specified using the scroller_source config
# option. The scroller_source should be set to one of the following
strings
# to use the indicated block:
# 1. text - to use user specified text
# 2. file - to user the first line of a text file
# 3. Weather Underground - to use a Weather Underground forecast
# 4. Darksky - to use a Darksky forecast
# 5. Zambretti - to use a Zambretti forecast
#
# The scroller_source config option is case insensitive. A corresponding
# second level config section (ie [[ ]]) is required for the block to
be
# used. Refer to step 4 below for details. If the scroller_source
config
# option is omitted or left blank the 'forecast' field will be blank
and no
# scroller text will be displayed.
scroller_source = text|file|WU|DS|Zambretti

# Optional, default is False.

# Stations that provide partial packets are supported through a cache
that
# caches packet data. max_cache_age is the maximum age in seconds for
# which cached data is retained. Optional, default is 600 seconds.

# It is possible to ignore the sensor contact check result for the
station
# and always set the gauge-data.txt SensorContactLost field to 0 (sensor
# contact not lost). This option should be used with care as it may
