AWEKAS stop accepting my posts

[ted frohling]

I recently became aware that AWEKAS stopped accepting my weewx uploads.  The errors I'm getting in the logs  are:

Feb 08 16:15:56 weewx weewx[13603]: restx: AWEKAS: Failed to publish record 2019-02-08 16:10:00 MST (1549667400): server returned 'too many requests - try again later '

Feb 08 16:15:57 weewx weewx[13603]: restx: AWEKAS: Failed to publish record 2019-02-08 16:15:00 MST (1549667700): server returned 'too many requests - try again later'

Of course, I've restarted weewx many times.  This is running on a Pi 3.  All the other uploads are working just fine.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

ted

They have blocked you for some reason. Possibly because of the quality of the data. You have to send an email to AWEKAS.

I suspect that the clue is in the server's response in the log entries:

Feb 08 16:15:56 weewx weewx[13603]: restx: AWEKAS: Failed to publish record 2019-02-08 16:10:00 MST (1549667400): server returned 'too many requests - try again later '
Feb 08 16:15:57 weewx weewx[13603]: restx: AWEKAS: Failed to publish record 2019-02-08 16:15:00 MST (1549667700): server returned 'too many requests - try again later'

I believe that AWEKAS wants you to post data no more often than once every 5 minutes, the above log entries are for two different records (16:10 and 16:15) and they were attempted to be posted within a second or two of each other. Whilst most services specify the minimum period between posts some services ignore more frequent posts and others reject such posts with a message. It looks like AWEKAS is the latter type.

By default the AWEKAS uploader should limit posts to be no more frequent than once every 5 minutes, but for some reason that does not seem to have worked as intended. Just wondering, what kind of station do you have and does it have a logger/memory, did this occur after a restart when WeeWX was downloading records from a logger? In such cases records are usually downloaded quite quickly and the StdRESTful service still operates on these downloaded records. Could you post some more of your log from before and after these posts. Don't be worried about posting too much, Google has lots of storage :). May also help to see the [StdRESTful] section of weewx.conf, just make sure you remove any passwords, user names, API keys tokens, etc before posting.

Thanks for everyone's help in trying to solve this problem. I decided to do
an apt purge on weewx and then locating all the other files related to weewx and
deleted them. Then did a new install of the .deb file and after answering
the questions from my saved .conf file, I'm up and running.

Thanks again,

ted
