Run 'weectl debug' please so we can see your 'current' weewx.conf file and current setup. If you can also give us the top 100 lines or so of what weewx logs when it starts up that would help too. We don't have info on what the startup logging looks like from your posts here that I can see.
It looks like you're running the CW9009 variant of sofaskin. Did you follow 'all' the installation instructions at https://github.com/weatherstorm/Sofaskin-CW9009 ? All of them ? If you think you followed the sofaskin instructions exactly, I'd suggest going back to vanilla weewx at least temporarily: - disable sofaskin - disable the rtgd stuff - perhaps disable your uploaders (WU, influx) - disable forecast and anything else you added to weewx other than interceptor - enable Seasons 'only' - does weewx+interceptor+Seasons run quickly ? - if so, start to build back up - reenable forecast - reenable WU - reenable influx - again - verify it's still fast (with rtgd and sofaskin disabled) If it's still fast then, you know where to look. Again build softaskin up incrementally: - delete or rename your existing sofaskin tree - reinstall unaltered sofaskin completely, following all the instructions exactly. Do not customize anything. Do not add rtgd. Just run vanilla sofaskin. Does 'that' run quickly ? - if unaltered sofaskin is still fast, add your customizations again step-by-step keeping track of what you added. - (save the original .tmpl files before you customize things so you can revert changes that break something) Basically do one thing at a time, verifying everything is fast after you changed 'one' thing. It's sometimes easier to build 'up' than to figure out what broke things by trying to turn things off. Some things I noticed in your logs: - interceptor is complaining 'INFO user.interceptor: unrecognized parameter soidad1=258' - forecast seems to run very often with a 300 second interval. Dial that back to 3600 perhaps at least temporarily just in case it causes needless load - you're throwing warnings using influx about unexpected/invalid input None - rtgd and interceptor are 'very' verbose with debug=3. If you're running a SD card that's not good long term. - It looks like your mysqld is running on the weewx computer, correct ? What kind of computer is it ? How much RAM ? Is it a pi with SD card or SSD or spinning disk ?
