Hi, As you have found adding hailRate to [StdWXCalculate] [[Calculations]] does nothing as StdWXCalculate does not know how to calculate hailRate. It was not specifically raised to address this issue but issue #491 <https://github.com/weewx/weewx/issues/491>, if it continues down the path it is presently on, will likely see StdWXCalculate evolve such that the user will be able to define their own rate based derived observations (just like rainRate) via a few config lines in weewx.conf. If you can hang on until (hopefully) the next WeeWX point release you should see this feature added (provided I can get it past Tom and provided the next point release does not come out too soon :) ). Since your hailRate observation would be a derived one, and given that wee_database now has the ability to backfill derived observations, the delay should not see you miss any data.
If you really do want to implement your derived hailRate now you would need to modify the current StdWXCalculate behaviour or write a separate service to calculate hailRate.
