You should see 'something' related to rsync in your logs unless you massively messed up your RSYNC section or its location in weewx.conf
For example - I took a clean system and enabled RSYNC then added the log_failure and log_success lines to make it explicitly log failure/success.. [StdReport] ...many lines omitted for brevity... [[RSYNC]] skin = Rsync enable = true server = replace_me ### <=== it'll fail on hostname resolution user = replace_me path = replace_me log_failure = true log_success = true It logs the expected failures showing weewx at least ran the uploader. 2024-05-24T09:27:32.412737-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.engine: Starting main packet loop. 2024-05-24T09:30:14.923691-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.manager: Added record 2024-05-24 09:30:00 PDT (1716568200) to database 'weewx.sdb' 2024-05-24T09:30:14.932831-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.manager: Added record 2024-05-24 09:30:00 PDT (1716568200) to daily summary in 'weewx.sdb' 2024-05-24T09:30:15.216464-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.cheetahgenerator: Generated 8 files for report SeasonsReport in 0.24 seconds 2024-05-24T09:30:15.507333-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.imagegenerator: Generated 56 images for report SeasonsReport in 0.27 seconds 2024-05-24T09:30:15.508311-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: INFO weewx.reportengine: Copied 5 files to /var/www/html/weewx 2024-05-24T09:30:16.021060-07:00 deb12pkgtwo weewxd[3052]: ERROR weeutil.rsyncupload: rsync reported errors.
