General options¶
The options declared at the top are not part of any section.
debug¶
Set to 1 to have the program perform extra debug checks, as well as emit extra information in the log file. This is strongly recommended if you are having trouble. Otherwise, set to 0. Default is 0 (no debug).
WEEWX_ROOT¶
Set to the root directory of the WeeWX file hierarchy for this station. Normally, this is set automatically by the installation process. Required. No default.
USER_ROOT¶
The location of the user package, relative to WEEWX_ROOT
. WeeWX will look for any user-installed extensions in this directory. Default is bin/user
.
log_success¶
If set to true
, the default will be to log a successful operation (for example, the completion of a report, or uploading to the Weather Underground, etc.) to the system log. Default is true
.
log_failure¶
If set to true
, the default will be to log an unsuccessful operation (for example, failure to generate a report, or failure to upload to the Weather Underground, etc.) to the system log. Default is true
.
socket_timeout¶
Set to how long to wait in seconds before declaring a socket time out. This is used by many services such as FTP, or the uploaders. Twenty (20) seconds is reasonable. Default is 20
.
gc_interval¶
Set to how often garbage collection should be performed in seconds by the Python runtime engine. Default is every 10800
(3 hours).
loop_on_init¶
Normally, if a hardware driver fails to load, WeeWX will exit, on the assumption that there is likely a configuration problem and so retries are useless. However, in some cases, drivers can fail to load for intermittent reasons, such as a network failure. In these cases, it may be useful to have WeeWX do a retry. Setting this option to true
will cause WeeWX to keep retrying indefinitely. Default is false
