Aprox a week ago My UPS failed. Something happened with my WiFiLogger2 config. and WeeWx started throwing errors. Finally got back to it today and Repaired the config on the WiFiLogger. Weewx says it is working and the files in the html directory are being replaced however they are the exact same image as were created at last weeks failure point.
WeeWx is not throwing errors and systemctl status says files are being created files in html dir have correct date but are old.
I am at a loss.
Thanks Leslie Earl

So are we if you don’t set debug=1 and post your logs.

Thanks Vince. I am not finding the syslog file on my system (Raspberry pi 4 running Bullseye). Systemctrl status shows this with debug = 1:

See if https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/wFGHkBWuMU4/m/XT1vm3sxAQAJ helps you get your logs......

I think your actual problem is in https://groups.google.com/g/weewx-user/c/3Vkh_pA_MIo/m/8O7nMeYAFwAJ  - my guess is your SteelSeries is old and needs to be edited to line up with the newer syntax.

A vantage station, power interruption, web pages generated with data that does not change - sounds a lot like a Vantage station with corrupted station memory. Not sure if that affects a Wifilogger (as well as the Davis loggers). In any case the corrupt station memory troubleshooting steps (https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Troubleshooting-the-Davis-Vantage-station#weewx-generates-html-pages-but-it-does-not-update-them) might help. The real answer will be in a log.

Not likely to be a SteelSeries problem, that would just impact the SteelSeries gauges and doesn't really tie in with the OPs words 'the files in the html directory are being replaced however they are the exact same image as were created at last weeks failure point'.

The OP did not provide enough information to see whether records were added into the db or not, but it does sound like that...

So if I understand this problem the data in my console is corupt. I think you are saying I can look into the Mysql DB and see what the data there looks like. It is spring here so not much computer time until I get the spring yard work and the spring motorcycle work complete.
Thanks for the input. I Have found that syslog on the Raspberry PI is actually available with the Journalctl command I will make an effort to put together the Weewx entry data into a readable format.
Thanks Leslie Earl

Your log will tell you if it saved records to the db or if something else is going on.  Or look for the latest record in your archive table in the data base.

Thanks so much for the help!!!
Vince had the issue nailed and the weewxctl device dump and clear memory commands fixed my problem
Again thanks for getting me ack on track

Interesting. I guess the WiFiLogger2 copied the Davis logger so faithfully that they also included its bugs.
