I just rebuilt a WeeWX system, running 4.1.1 and I'm facing an odd issue where I find that archiving is NOT happening when I use the SDR driver.
If I use the Simulator, archiving works at the testing interval of 30 seconds as planned. While using the SDR driver, it is able to parse the RTL_433 packets just fine in loop mode, but archive never happens. Grepped out the sdr packets as they are super noisy: [root@weewx ~]$ tail -1000f /var/log/weewx.log | grep -v sdr Oct 5 22:51:48 weewx weewx[1137]: * Starting weewx weather system weewx Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1361] INFO __main__: Initializing weewx version 4.1.1 Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1361] INFO __main__: Using Python 3.6.9 (default, Jul 17 2020, 12:50:27) #012[GCC 8.4.0]Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1361] INFO __main__: Platform Linux-4.15.0-118-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-18.04-bionic Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1361] INFO __main__: Locale is 'en_US.UTF-8' Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1361] INFO __main__: PID file is /var/run/weewx.pid Oct 5 22:51:54 weewx weewx[1137]: ...done.
