You might want to have a read of the WeeWX Wiki article Help! Posting to
weewx user
<https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/Help!-Posting-to-weewx-user#the-system-log>.
The article gives some pretty straightforward instructions on how to get a
good log extract and post it here. The better the log extract you provide,
generally the better the advice you will get - and it will save time all
round.
