Not sure if -u weewx is enough or not but I always do tab completion and it expands to weewx.service
-f is for following the last 10 matching log lines and then any new ones, you can also do -n 1000 to get the past 1000 log lines and ctrl+g will jump to the end of the past log lines, someone posted logs previously to this list and used a reverse flag to make the logs go from most recently to oldest but I can't remember if it was -r or what exactly.
