Sorry, I hit send before completing the post

After stopping the service again, and invoking the wee_device --dump and  
wee_device --clear-memory commands, and then restarting weewx, it started 
working again. Both CWOP And WU are getting data. And while that's great, 
it's hinting at a reliability problem that had never existed until last 
month. Is there anything I can do to solve this permanently and get it back 
to the way it always was?

Conversely, is there any sort of black-box device or  that I can 
use to just send this info out without needing to play with Linux? I don't 
want to replace the weather station; the hardware outside is fine, but the 
the convoluted way it reports to WU and CWOP are a headache I don't want, 
especially if it's turning into a monthly circus.

[weewx-user] One month later another serious Weewx upload failure

2021-04-23 Thread Peter Dougherty

Last month (Mar. 22) I was experiencing upload problems to CWOP. Today a 
similar (worse) problem. Nothing was done to the Pi since the end of last 
month's troubles. It just stopped uploading to both CWOP and WU about an 
hour ago.

I've tried unplugging the console, restarting the process, restarting the 
pi and nothing is working. Again. This ran for years without corruption and 
now twice in a month. What can I do to get it working again, and how on 
Earth can I get this back to be the reliable device it was for almost four 
years in a row? Linux is massively out of my comfort zone.

The relevant part of my config file and the last few lines of my log follow:

It should have put the data right in your database. You should be able to tell 
by looking at the image plots.

 

Mind you: they are refreshed only as often as the aggregation interval. If you 
want to see them right away, delete them and they will be automatically 
regenerated in the next reporting cycle.

If you did the "wee_device --dump" command as suggested by the Wiki, you should 
have recovered all the data off the logger.

 

If not, you can use wee_import 
<http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#wee_import_utility>  to recover from 
the Weather Underground.

RE: [weewx-user] Not uploading to CWOP (Long log file attached)

2021-03-22 Thread Peter Dougherty

So…a tiny bit of progress (maybe??)

I stopped the Vantage console for a few minutes and pulled out the batteries. 
Restarted it, then unplugged the RPi and reconnected it. It seems to have 
started adding the missing data and I’m seeing “restx” messages again, but 
after 10 minutes, nothing seems to actually have gotten posted to CWOP.

So I stopped Weewx and restarted it again, a few seconds before the 19:35EDT 
update time. Nothing seems to have gotten posted to CWOP, however; I have 
refreshed the page numerous times since.

Once again, there are no restx messages being displayed. Log follows:

I will de-power the Vantage for 5 minutes and see what happens, and reboot the 
Raspberry Pi once the Vantage console is back on line.

As suspected (and as I guessed in your original thread), you are using 
RapidFire. It uses LOOP packets, and so will be unaffected by a corrupt logger.

 

Again, as noted in the other thread, clear the logger 
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Troubleshooting-the-Davis-Vantage-station#corrupt-station-memory>
  and all will be well.

OK, set to debug and the results will be found below.

Next, there are going to be two pastes below. The first (immediately below)

[weewx-user] Not uploading to CWOP

2021-03-22 Thread Peter Dougherty

Hi all,
About 8 days ago weewx stopped uploading data to CWOP without explanation. 
It has continued to report to Weather Underground without issue so the 
station itself, the Pi, weewx, and the Internet connection are obviously 
still good.

I'm not sure what went wrong. I didn't change any files or even access the 
Pi in the last 6 months or so. I restarted it and no change since. Any 
suggestions? Please and thanks.

There is nothing in the log that looks out of place:

Just a quick reply to say thanks, everything's working again, and the 
wunderfixer option is running OK. I have no idea what the end part of that 
command means, but I can see the result of the daily run in the log so 
that's all that matters. Thanks again for your assistance.

Hi Gary,
I've read through that link you sent until my eyes bled, and I just don't 
understand how to use it. Like I said up top, Linux and I aren't friends, 
we just tolerate each other's existence and call it a draw. So where do I 
go to get a copy of wunderfixer, how do I install it, configure it to look 
for every single piece of missing data and then run it? There are about 
1,800 updates that never got sent to WU in the 6+ days it was down.

It's doesn't appear to be sending any of the missing data to Weather 
Underground, but it *is* sending current data. The station went back online 
around 18:29 today (23 May) and had been offline starting around 05:00 on 
17 May. Three hours after going back online I cannot find the missing data 
on the WU site.

This is a log excerpt. It appears as if it's trying to send the backlog

[weewx-user] Re: System has stopped reporting everywhere

2017-05-23 Thread Peter Dougherty

OK, done and that got things working again. I'm curious as to what broke. 
No changes were made since the end of February, and the system has been up 
and reporting continuously since then. My tech guru and I attempted to get 
the Twitter reporting function working (like I had with Cumulus software, 
under Windows) but it never would, and so we just ignored it.

Is there any way to determine if the last 5 days' data has been 
successfully downloaded from the data logger on the Vantage Pro 2? And if 
so, is there any way that you know if to retroactively upload it to Weather 
Underground's PWS feature. Thanks in advance.

Just bumping this up. Any ideas on where I should be looking, per the log 
excerpts? I'm thinking maybe the database has eaten itself somehow??

OK, here's the point where the failures started to occur, on the afternoon 
of May 17th. I've included from the last good upload until about an hour 
later. There's roughly another hour of similar messages before it settles 
down into the handful of errors I stated in the above list.

Hi Gary,
The log was where you first said it would be (in /var/log) Every 5 minutes 
the following errors appear, beginning yesterday at 06:25. So it would 
appear that WeeWX is alive, at least.

[weewx-user] System has stopped reporting everywhere

2017-05-22 Thread Peter Dougherty

Weewx has developed a problem as described below. 

I'm running it on a Raspberry Pi. It ran fine for 98 days and then stopped 
cold. I pulled and restored power and can remote into the box using a VNC 
client. The box is on the network, I can ping everything from it and I have 
restarted weewx a dozen times using /etc/init.d/weewx restart. It appears 
to be fine, but nothing is going out to Weather Underground, CWOP or 
anybody else. The last update on the localhost interface was at 1pm today, 
but the last update to WU and CWOP was on May 17th. The weather station is 
a Davis Vantage Pro 2 using the USB dongle. I'm pretty sure it's sending 
data from the logger to weewx but have no way or no understanding on how to 
test communication with the Davis. According to the logs, it's functioning. 
I have a huge log and I'm not sure how to post it, or how much of it I 
should include here.

I am an new user and extremely unfamiliar with Linux. The box was set up by 
a friend and I myself am below kindergarten-level understanding of how to 
fix it. I can follow a script but I have no natural sense of how to proceed 
without being told explicitly. Any assistance tremendously appreciated.

2017-02-13 Thread Peter Dougherty

I don't even know what questions to start asking about this. I don't run 
servers here or know anything about them whatsoever (I'm a very, very 
inexperienced user and that's a gross understatement). Is there a "for 
utter morons" guide to setting it up? About all I can do is type in 
commands as written. I have exactly zero understanding of what any of them 
do. I would be more than happy to have commercial software and hosting for 
this!

Awesome. Are there any other services that are actually used and useful? I 
think Wunderground is probably the most accurate, but I do take pride in 
being able to provide weather data as widely as I can to anybody who finds 
it useful.

Re: [weewx-user] NEW USER Problems posting to CWOP and PWStation

2017-02-12 Thread Peter Dougherty

Looking good now, and post_interval worked like a champ. I also got a 
passcode from Dave and I'm using that, plus logging post success & failure, 
so definitely a lot of thanks!

Now there's still the issue of PWStation. That seems very straightforward, 
and weewx is not throwing error messages (says posting success), yet the 
website isn't receiving data. Thoughts? I just signed up for this yesterday 
and it's not particularly important--wunderground and CWOP are the only two 
I've used since 2012--but if it can be made to work, then great. If not, 
I'll leave this alone then worry about finding a way to output a live 
display somehow; my next big project!

Thanks to all.

[weewx-user] NEW USER Problems posting to CWOP and PWStation

2017-02-12 Thread Peter Dougherty

Hello all,

I'm extremely new to weewx and the rawest Linux newbie with absolutely no 
experience in the OS. 

I've been running my Davis Vantage Pro 2 since 2012 on Windows, using 
Cumulus, and have had no uploading to any service when it's running. Due to 
Windows stability and other hardware issues I decided to run the station on 
a Raspberry Pi 3 using Raspian, which was powered up and configured for 
weewx for the first time yesterday. I'm running version 3.6.2 at the moment.

I upload to CWOP, Weather Underground and PWStation. Wunderground is 
working fine but the other two are not.

Troubleshooting log snippets follow:
my config:

[[CWOP]]
# This section is for configuring posts to CWOP.

# If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
# and specify the station ID (e.g., CW1234).

enable = true
station = w2irt
server = cwop.aprs.net:14580, cwop.aprs.net:23
interval = 180
protocol = CWOP

# If this is an APRS (radio amateur) station, uncomment
# the following and replace with a passcode (e.g., 12345).
#passcode = -1
Although I am a ham, I am *not* using the APRS network to generate posts. 
In Cumulus, I was told initially to use -1 as the passcode and it has 
worked since 2012. Different errors are occurring depending on whether I 
have "passcode" commented out or not. See below.

[[PWSweather]]
# This section is for configuring posts to PWSweather.com.

# If you wish to do this, set the option 'enable' to true,
# and specify a station and password.
enable = true
station = w2irt
password = (my PWSweather website password)


>From the log

Without "passcode = -1" enabled, the log returns this error:

11:29:35 wx weewx[15542]: APRS station W2IRT requires passcode


With "passcode = -1" this exception happens

11:29:10 wx weewx[15498]: engine: Caught unrecoverable exception in engine:
