Re: [weewx-user] Re: Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

[vince]

Sorry - no I don't know of any.  What you're asking is rather unique and 
for me, I don't even understand why it seems so important to you.

Many years ago at $work we had a lot of elaborate rsyslog (I think) rewrite 
rules to save special things to discrete files, but it's been so long that 
I can't remember the exact details.  I think 'example 2' 
of 
https://www.thegeekdiary.com/etc-rsyslog-conf-setup-a-filter-to-discard-or-redirect-messages/
 
gives one example you might fiddle with.

There are a lot of syslog daemons with varying capabilities, so I don't 
know what's in the os you're running.

The other very heavy option would be running Splunk (which might not even 
work on a pi) which can do just about anything you can cook up, but you are 
seriously upping the compute horsepower and complexity ante if you go down 
that path.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

[Kruse Ludington]

Hi again Vince and thank you also Tom. I agree to the point that the source 
for the overriden function "can't really afford to change" - but wouild 
assume any updated version however when I do update would include another 
copy of the same file so I'd have to go replace it each time with my own 
etc Rethinking this... even later extensions such as say to send to 
"Meteoservices" is also inherited from that original function so if I 
changed the original at that parent level it woiuld cap[ture those too?

I used to write alot of code in my previous life for trading systems on 
wall street but that was a long time ago - so that along with the fact this 
is on my spare time which I have very little of and I am new to Python and 
MQTT etc... not sure it it's worth the hassle to figure out how to do it in 
an elegant proper manner. I guess I'll continue to search high and low when 
I have the time to figure out how to, from within HA, to listen to the 
network traffic - which I don't think I will find - or as a second option 
to find some plugin that will scrape logs... sigh...

So while I look for a way for HA to listen to network traffic - do 
either of you guys know of any very lightweight processes I could put on 
the RPI to listent to traffic and publish to MQTT? The cron job is a good 
idea but that's still scraping the logs rather than listnining to traffic, 
correct?

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

[Tom Keffer]

This monkey patch would be pretty safe. The function process_record() is
intended to be overridden by subclasses, so it can't really afford to
change.

Not to mention, log entries can change too!

I might add there's a map for the forecast offices (FOID) too.

Just look at the URL it uses when you click on the map.

[weewx-user] Re: Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

[vince]

Some creative syslog config file rewrite rules might be able to generate 
separate output file(s) and associated data in a format you can parse with 
HA, but how to do it depends on your os and which syslog daemon(s) you are 
running.

Personally, I'd use a cron job to publish to MQTT every few minutes and 
simply have HA subscribe to those topics.

If you do it by patching weewx, you'll have to keep that patch valid as 
weewx changes, so that's probably less good a direction to follow.

[weewx-user] National Weather Service location IDs

I have been relentlessly searching for a list of NWS LIDs for the forecast 
module and cannot even find a mention of them on their site or Wikican 
somone push me in the right direction I am trying to get the Foid and lid 
for Columbia SC.  I beleive the Foid to be CAE but the 6 digit ID is the 
problem.

[weewx-user] Re: Raspberry to raspberry vsftpD can not login???

[vince]

It could be many things.  Passwords.  FTP server configuration.  DNS. Typo 
in your username/password.   Many things.

I'd start with ensuring it works from the shell 'without' involving weewx. 
 That will validate your os setup.

But if you don't tell us your os+configuration and provide some logs and 
shell session transcripts, nobody's going to be able to guess a solution.

Re: [weewx-user] Monitoring RESTful API calls sending weather data

[Tom Keffer]

Honestly, scraping the logs isn't so bad.

An alternative would be to monkey-patch the member function
weewx.restx.RESTThread.process_record(). The replacement version would
first call the original version, then, once it returns, post success by
whatever means you choose to Home Assistant.

[weewx-user] Raspberry to raspberry vsftpD can not login???

[NightTripper]

I'm running WeeWX on a Raspberry Piv3b. It's been running for years with no 
other check-ins other than updates.  I started a Raspberry Pi v4 4gig as a 
home server.  I'm running vsftpd on it and I've turned vfw off.  I can use 
the local and outside networks to transfer files into out of, and change 
them in, the html folder.  I set up WeeWX to use a working user name and 
password to ftp on my local network.  And I'm using the local IP address.  
But WeeWX can not login?  Any tips from someone running the same 
configuration?

Hey wfs I have to admit i got tired of replacing batteries so replaced the

I don't post to WU but I have noticed this too lately with my VP1 station.  
I'll get the occasional UV reading of 16.0 without having a UV sensor.  I 
get a "missing image" icon on my modified standard skin web page.  I don't 
recall this ever being a problem in the past.

Re: [weewx-user] issue when trying to depict rain data from different weewx databases in Seasons skin (current and High/Low)

[Tom Keffer]

That would be one way to do it, but at that point, you're probably better
off going to a parameterized solution using $getVar().

I encourage you to take a look at Cheetah's documentation
. It's not great, but
it has a lot of useful tricks in it.

Re: [weewx-user] issue when trying to depict rain data from different weewx databases in Seasons skin (current and High/Low)

[Rainer Lang]

Great, Tom, thank you - the proposed (1st) solution looks quite smart 
and is TESTED NOW - and works as expected.
Looks as if I have to enlarge my Python and Cheetah generator knowledge 
significantly.


The 2nd will be helpful to implement that into my neowx-material skin 
which was already parameterized before the Seasons skin was 
"rejuvenated" into its new also parameterized coding.
When I have some more time, I'll also be looking into migrating my 
Seasons skin ...


And I take it, that if I want to include more data-bindings, I just 
enlarge the $archive_data array by more elements ... (1st solution)


thanks again
cheers

It looks like you are using an older version of Seasons (before it was

to ask it to be built using a custom value for data_binding.


What to do? You could introduce a new set of timespans, this time 
including your custom binding. It would look like (NOT TESTED):


#set $archive_data = [('day', $day, 
$day(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('week', $week, 
$week(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('month', $month, 
$month(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('year', $year, 
$year(data_binding='rpi24-binding')), ('rainyear', $rainyear, 
$rainyear(data_binding='rpi24-binding'))]


then use that when necessary:


      
        $archive[2].rainRate.max.format(add_label=False)
     

Another approach would be to update to the parameterized version of 
Seasons, which does its evaluation of TimespanBinder later, allowing 
it to be modified in a more straightforward way:


 
       
       $getVar('%s.%s(data_binding='rpi24-binding')' % ($timespan, 
$x)).max.format(add_label=False)

After some more digging I have advanced:

my 2nd issue, that the monthly and weekly data is not shown seems
to be solved:
while in the imagegenerator the week/month means 7 days back and
30 days back from the current date,
$week and $month seem to mean the calender week and calender month
- a few tests with fake rain data in the database confirmed that

remains the issue how to show the values from the remote database
in the High/Low portion of the High/Low table

at http://www.weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Using_multiple_bindings
the example goes:

  Inside Temperature,
Vantage $current.inTemp 
 Inside Temperature, WMR100 $latest/*($data_binding='wmr100_binding')*/.inTemp
 

this translated into my hilo.inc code

    $obs.label.rain

should in my understanding then be:

$archive[1]/*($data_binding='rpi24-binding')*/.rainRate.max.format(add_label=False)
