After researching, I made the following changes - which now works: Removed link that was made Copy original rsyslog.d file and rename: sudo cp home/weewx/util/rsyslog.d/weewx.conf to /home/weewx/util/rsyslog.d/10-weewx.conf Create a new link for this renamed file: sudo ln -s /home/weewx/util/rsyslog.d/10-weewx.conf /etc/rsyslog.d Restart server (maybe just restarting rsyslog.d may have worked too)
Apparently the rsyslog.d loads all configuration files in the directory in alphabetical order. So, the rsyslog.d weewx.conf needs to load before the default .rsyslog.d conf file loads. On my Mint 18 distribution, the default rsyslog.d .conf file is named 50-default.conf. Hence the need to make the rsyslog.d file for weewx load first, by renaming it to 10-weewx.conf. Should the wiki page be update incase others run into a similar issue with the log being written in both syslog and weewx.log? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
