Problems with weewx on MacOS

[seano...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have done many successful installations of weewx on raspberry pi and I previously installed weewx on MacOS successfully. About a month ago, the MacOS station stopped reporting so I have been troubleshooting it. I can't figure out what is going on because I am very poor with python. Can anyone give me any suggestions? I have tried to remove and reinstall python3 using brew - currently version 3.10.8 is running when I type 'python3 --version'.

I also updated weewx to 4.10.2 and from what i can see everything is installed and working, including all dependencies. But still when I run 'sudo python3 ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf' I get python errors. Please can someone see below and give me any suggestions? Thank you

apple@Mac-mini weewx % sudo python3 ./bin/weewxd weewx.conf

By default, V4.10.2 does not include a 'rotate' logging handler. It has to be added.

By any chance, do you have a [Logging] section in weewx.conf? If so, what does it say?

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the reply. You are right, I removed the [Logging] section from the weewx.conf file and then it ran successfully and I can see all the output. Now I am running into another problem where the data is not being posted to windguru. Please can you check the output here and give me your opinion of what is wrong? I also posted a small part of it below. Thanks in advance.

As an update to this, I uninstalled Pillow 9.5.0 and then installed Pillow 9.4.0 and now the error is gone.

However, I am still having some problem and I'm struggling to identify exactly what because I'm not sure how to check the logs on MacOS. I'm sorry for the noob question, but can someone please guide me on where weewx is logging to? I can confirm that it is not /var/log/weewx.log or /var/tmp/weewx.log. Originally I had added a [Logging] section in weewx.conf but now the weewx 4.10.2 has removed that functionality I am not sure how else to log weewx output to a different file.

Appreciate the help, thanks.

[Graham Eddy]

tom did not say that 4.10.2 removed [Logging], he did ask you to remove that section temporarily, to get it to use default, in case your own content of that section was wrong. tom said that you were using a specific item (i think it was ‘rotate’) that was removed in 4.10.2 and thus causing your runtime error

i think in macOS the default behaviour is to log under /var/log/system.log

once the default configuration is working, no doubt you will add some entries to [Logging] to use a file of your choice, such as /var/log/weewx.log

⊣GE⊢

[Tom Keffer]

I have never been able to get system logging from Python to work on the Mac. I'm sure it can be done --- I just don't know how. If you Google around, apparently others have struggled to get it to work as well.

Instead, I just log to a rotating file. See the section Logging to rotating files in the Wiki. The example logs to /var/log/weewx.log, which will require root privileges. Another option is to log to /Users/Shared/weewx/weewx.log, or some other place where you don't need those privileges.

Thank you for the replies and suggestions. The logging is now working to /var/log/weewx.log

When I run weewx directly I can see the sensor data coming in. It seems like it's just the final step when it uploads the data to windguru that it is failing. I have confirmed that the station details are correct. When I ping windguru.cz, there is a reply. Any ideas?

[Tom Keffer]

I don't know anything about the windguru uploader. You can try asking the author.

I will say that "Bad Gateway" usually means a problem with a load balancing server, or something like that. It could be a problem on the windguru end.

There's also a pending "pull request" that updates how authentication is done. Perhaps that's the problem? Don't know. You can give it a try.

Thanks Tom for all your help with this. Really appreciate it.

I will look into this further and also try and ask the author.

[bell...@gmail.com]

Tom, 

I think the 502 is from station registry. Nothing is displaying on the map and GET stations is returning a 502

rich 

[Tom Keffer]

Oops. Missed that! Thanks, Rich.

Not sure why the registry would return that error. Try debug=2 in weewx.conf, restart weewxd, let it run for a reporting cycle of two, then post the log. Option debug=2 will log the full URL used for the GET to the registry.

[bell...@gmail.com]

Sorry, I was in a hurry and wasn’t clear. I think StationRegistry and WindGuru are both failing.

Re: StationRegistry

Go to http://weewx.com/stations.html. Nothing is displayed. The GET request to  /api/v2/stations/?limit=2000 is also returning a 502. So, like you said, seems like a server issue…

rich

[Tom Keffer]

Right you are. 

Fixed.

[seano...@gmail.com]

Thanks for the feedback. So is it something I am doing wrong, or can fix on my end? What action should I take?

Important to note that through my fiddling over the last few days, the station did report for about 20 min yesterday and then about 3 hours on 19th May.

The location of the station is off grid and only powers on with generators from 12pm every day. Later today I will try debug=2 in weewx.conf and report back.

Thanks

[Sean Jahnig]

Hi Tom,

Sorry that it took time to update on this, the remote location had a problem with their internet for a few days so i was not able to access it remotely until now.

I set debug=2 in weewx.conf and below is the output. Can you make any sense of it?

The station_url is invalid. You're using "www.kitebeachcenter.ae". It needs an "https://" in front, so it becomes

station_url = https://www.kitebeachcenter.ae

Meanwhile, whatever problem windguru had now seems to have gone away.

Thank you. It is posting to windguru now, but it seems the posts are empty. Windguru has a time stamp that is current, but there is no wind data. Upon a closer look I noticed that there is no WeatherFlowUDP [[sensor_map]] being loaded when weewx starts! I can't seem to figure out why though, the weewx.conf has the [[sensor_map]] and I don't notice any code issues. (I placed a copy below). I tried to use the other two udp_address options but they give errors.

As a final comment, I switched to 'Simulator' and it is posting to windguru correctly. This tells me that there is a problem with the 'WeatherFlowUDP' driver which appears to load correctly but according to the log, does not load the [[sensor_map]] when weewx starts. Any thoughts?
