Well installing centos 7.6 on a VM was interesting. WeeWX 3.9.1 was installed from .rpm. It seems that when run under centos7.6 WeeWX (and python) any attempts to log at the debug level are discarded or otherwise lost. With debug=1:

WeeWX appears to otherwise run properly it just cannot log at the debug level. Opening a python console importing syslog and doing a few syslog calls produced the same result, anything at LOG_DEBUG was ignored. Not sure where the issue lies, probably needs someone with a better understanding of rsyslog than me. Makes me wonder if given centos' parentage whether RH will be the same. Enough for me, I hurt my brain enough battling with centos, will be glad to get back to debian. Gary -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
