WeeWx stops doing its thing

[G7LTT]

I'm running V5 and an Ambient WS2000. Until about a week ago everything was fine. WeeWX was doing its thing about every 5 minutes. Then for no apparent reason it stopped doing its thing.

After about an hour or so of faultless running it simply stops doing its thing. But yet the WeeWx job is still running. Below is a paste of the only logfile I can find pulled from the journal. As you can see, there's noting reported by WeeWx. 

I've run it interactively at the console to see if it pukes out an error and nothing there either. It just stops.

http://wx.ni2o.ampr.org will show you some lage gaps in the data. This is where WeeWX has stopped/stalled and I've restarted the daemon.

Ideas?

Thanks

Mark

This is too small a snippet of the log to get much information. We really need to see the start up sequence.

Please set debug=1, restart weewx, then post the log through the first reporting cycle.

Not understanding the wording of "doing its thing".   What thing is it doing then not doing ?

You might read https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/view-logs#journalctl for how to get all the weewx info out of the journal logs...

"Doing its thing" would be whatever the app does; collect stats, populate the DB, create the web pages, upload the webpages. Y'know? "do its thing" .

How about a copy of the log as described above?

At the risk of jinxing it, I _think_ it might be OK now. 

I noticed in the logs that I was about to post that things stopped working after it made a call out to the Ambient API website. So I tried  wrote a script to make random connections to the API website and about 50% of the connections failed. I fixed this issue by changing the route to the API website (I have multiple Internet connections here). My script passed all the tests and so I restarted the WeeWX daemon. Its been up now for over 24 hours.

I'm going to make contact with the ambientweatherapi.py folks and see if they know about this issue. I would have expected their script to try again or at least re-run itself when called by WeeWX? Or even do some sort of graceful termination?

http://weather.ni2o.ampr.org should now be working.

Thanks for your time!!
