Rich, I sat down and imported the Sep17 log you posted under weeWX 3.8.0 and it imported 3877 records without any error. The Cumulus monthly log file uses a fixed format date and time fields as the first 2 fields of the line; the formats are d/m/Y and H:M:S and this is hard coded into wee_import so there is nothing that could be set incorrectly d/m wise.
In terms of the date-time order of what is being imported, wee_import orders the Cumulus logs in oldest to newest order and then proceeds to work throught each file from oldest to newest importing all data in each file (which happens to be in oldest to newest order as well). wee_import processes the imported records in tranches, nominally 250 records per tranche. I don't see any way that data could be processed twice during an import (it can certainly be processed twice if you import it twice but not if you only import it once). All told I don't see how any of this could have caused the errors you received. All in all I am at a bit of a loss. I am wondering if somehow some of your data found its way into your archive. Could I ask you to do a little interrogating of your archive? Given there were issues with the September 2017 data and that you posted the September 2017 log file lets have a look at that month. I'm assuming you are using SQLite and you database is /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb, open your archive with SQLite3: $ sqlite3 /home/weewx/archive/weewx.sdb sqlite> Check how many records are in the month of Spetember 2017: sqlite> SELECT COUNT(dateTime) FROM archive WHERE dateTime>=strftime('%s','2017-09-01 00:00:00', 'utc') AND dateTime<strftime('%s','2017-10-01 00:00:00', 'utc'); That should return a number, there are 8377 valid records in your September 2017 monthly log file so if the answer is 8377 you have almost a full month of data (there were a few records missing 30*288=8640). Assuming there is almost full month of data in you archive lets pick a record from a period that was not imported, say 20 September 2017 13:55 and see what it holds: sqlite> SELECT outTemp, outHumidity, dewpoint FROM archive WHERE dateTime= strftime('%s','2017-09-20 13:55:00', 'utc'); 82.2|55.0|64.4 outTemp, outHumidity and dewpoint are the 3rd, 4th and 5th fields on each line so easy to check. On your imported data I get 82.5F, 55.0% and 64.4F, how does that compare with your results? If the same I strongly suspect your data was somehow imported beforehand, you can check further records/obs by changing the fields and date/time in the above query. If your results don't agree it looks like you have some bogus data somehow. If you have bogus data then I guess the only solution is to delete it and re-import. That is easy to do for just one month, happy to give you the SQL separately if required. I guess if your results agree with what's in you monthly log file then you need to make a decision whether you trust you have all of the correct data or not (do you look at other months/days/times - there is a lot to look at), if you trust it then not much else to do but continue importing your older data (I would import one month at a time and check that there is no data in your archive for that month before you import it, do the month import and see if it all imported OK or of you have more errors, generally easier to pick uon on and fix an issue this way then doing a multi-year import and then having mountains to deal with.). One other thing you can check, the logs. After a wee_import run you should have a summary written to log (unless you specifically turn it off), I received something like: Jan 29 21:05:39 stretch22 wee_import[1256]: manager: Added record 2017-09-30 23:55:00 AEST (1506779700) to database 'weewx.sdb' Jan 29 21:05:39 stretch22 wee_import[1256]: manager: Added record 2017-09-30 23:55:00 AEST (1506779700) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' Jan 29 21:05:39 stretch22 wee_import[1256]: wee_import: Mapped data saved to archive successfully for period 1. Jan 29 21:05:39 stretch22 wee_import[1256]: wee_import: Finished import. 8377 raw records resulted in 8377 unique records being processed in 25.55 seconds. when I imported your September data. Worthwhile having at look at the numbers to see how many duplicates you had (there were none for the above import), should give an idea of the extent of the issue though not much other help. One final thing, if you do do any more imports keep a copy of the screen output, it should be providing progress on what wee_import is doing as well as the log.
