Logging Modifications in weewx.conf

Hello,

I've put the below into my weewx.conf file to modify the logging since I'm running this in a docker container:

[Logging]

# Root logger

[[root]]

handlers = rotate, # 1

[[loggers]]

[[[weewx.restx]]]

level = WARNING

[[handlers]]

# Log to a set of rotating files

[[[rotate]]]

level = DEBUG # 2

formatter = standard # 3

class = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler # 4

filename = /home/weewx/bin/user/weewx.log # 5

maxBytes = 5000000 # 6

backupCount = 1 # 7

[[formatters]]

[[[standard]]]

format = "%(asctime)s {process_name}[%(process)d] %(levelname)s %(name)s: %(message)s"

Everything works great! except, I get the following in the log when the archive runs:

2020-09-29 13:25:20,887 weewx[1] ERROR weewx.reportengine: Syntax error: missing option "asctime" in interpolation.

2020-09-29 13:25:20,887 weewx[1] ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** Report ignored

2020-09-29 13:25:20,994 weewx[1] ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** Report ignored

2020-09-29 13:25:21,010 weewx[1] ERROR weewx.reportengine: Syntax error: missing option "asctime" in interpolation.

2020-09-29 13:25:21,010 weewx[1] ERROR weewx.reportengine: **** Report ignored

Any thoughts on how to resolve that error? it seems to be misinterpreting the config options as something it should do something with....

Thanks!

Putting aside the wisdom of putting the log in the user subdirectory, this worked for me and results in log entries that look like:

2020-09-29 18:16:32,402 wee_reports[16734] DEBUG weewx.engine: Loading service weewx.restx.StdCWOP

etc.

What platform are you running on?

I’m on Alpine Linux inside a docker container... the reason the log goes in the user directory is because syslog doesn’t work properly in python 3 under alpine... for some reason that’s beyond my ability to fix...

Everything works fine if I remove the format deceleration... but if it’s there, the archive process never seems to complete successfully.

The format specifier %(asctime)s is supplied by the Python library, not WeeWX. Documentation.

Looks like there's a bug in either your copy of the library, or in the OS. I don't know what version of Python you are using, but perhaps you could upgrade to a later version...?

I'm running Python 3.8.5.

I'm slightly confused though, because the format specifier %(asctime)s is doing exactly what it should....

it seems to me, that weewx.reportengine: Syntax error: missing option "asctime" in interpolation. would be the report engine trying to do something with a bit of weewx.conf that it shouldn't be... that's also the only thing that stops working (no reports are generated, but data is still logged and MQTT still operates) when I uncomment those 3 lines in my weewx.conf file.

am I wrong? (I totally could be!)

A bit of explanation of how logging works: each module in weewx uses a different 'logger.' If you look at the top of reportengine.py, you'll see

log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

This sets the logger for the module reportengine.py to __name__, or 'weewx.reportengine'. That's why the error is marked as weewx.reportengine. That's just who is making the log entry. It does not necessarily reflect where the error occurred.

The exception was actually raised deeper down the call stack. To see exactly where, we'd have to ask for a stack trace. The log entry is being made by weewx.reportengine because that's where the exception was caught.

The report engine runs in its own thread. It can crash, as it did, without bringing down the rest of WeeWX. That's why MQTT and the rest of the program continue to run.

What's the best way to get that stack trace?

I did find this bug, not at all related to weewx, but is it possible that the config parser for the report engine is not pleased with that config syntax?

It just adds a call to weeutil.logger.log_traceback().

Have you confirmed your python isn't messed up ?

Perhaps try a simple test something like:

import time
print(time.localtime())
print(time.asctime(time.localtime()))

that seems to work just fine... I think. this looks like I think it should.

/home/weewx/bin/user # python timetest.py

time.struct_time(tm_year=2020, tm_mon=9, tm_mday=30, tm_hour=12, tm_min=49, tm_sec=35, tm_wday=2, tm_yday=274, tm_isdst=1)

Wed Sep 30 12:49:35 2020

/home/weewx/bin/user #

/home/weewx/bin/user # cat timetest.py

import time

print(time.localtime())

print(time.asctime(time.localtime()))

okay, I didn't have debug logging on, because it's bonkers chatty.... my apologies

Here's what I believe to be the entire stack trace for that call:

Can you verify 'python' there is python3 specifically ?

python -V

(just in case you have both python2 and python3 installed and your system default isn't the python you think weewx is running)

I have seen something like this before (issue #579).

The problem is being caused by the deep copying of a ConfigObj structure. ConfigObj tries to fill in the interpolations during the copy but, of course, 'asctime' is not available --- it's only available when logging something.

This was fixed, but not released yet. In the meantime, you have two choices:

You can work around the problem by changing the values in weeutil/logger.py to what you need; or
You can use the current (totally runable) version in GitHub.
