I have noticed lately that the time on my weather page was not updating and it used to update every 5 minutes but now it is showing anytime 15 minutes or 20 minutes.

I found this in my log files:

Sep 4 11:00:27 moonbi weewx[2360287] INFO weewx.engine: Launch of report thread aborted: existing report thread still running

Is there a way to see the report has finished?

I have looked at htop and have notice /usr/sbin/mariadbd is at the top of the list. Maybe the database is slow.

I will look at that now....

Thanks

I had wdc skin enabled as well as Responsive skin.

I disabled wdc skin an does seems to have generated the report every 5 minutes now.

Will keep monitoring it further.

I guess it was wdc:

Sep 3 00:21:24 moonbi weewx[1440347] INFO weewx.cheetahgenerator: Generated 11 files for report WdcReport in 330.15 seconds

perhaps it was generating all reports, as from a clean slate, and in future it could just be incremental and less of an issue

It has been doing it days....

There were a lot of entries in the syslog.

Perhaps try turning WDC off and see if the problem goes away. Certainly a skin taking longer than your archive period to complete is going to cause havoc for your setup....

It'll only do that once. I only have data back to 2016, but it took a long time to finish. Afterwards, just as quick as any other skin.
I think it is the NOAA reports.

It was running for weeks.

I only have 1 year of data.

Something must have changed somewhere.

I have disabled that skin and all is running as it was before.

Thanks.

I don't really know what that link meant.

I have just disabled the skin. That was easier.
