https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/logging Followed the instr above and while it's probably the best so far, my current server, Linux OPI5B 5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588 #1.0.2 SMP Thu Apr 13 16:55:55 CST 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux, running ubuntu jammy server (22.04), is up to date and I've been reading that the system maintainers have changed the security on logrotate and even following the instructions logrotate complained and wouldn't rotate until I set tighter security on /var/log. Currently the default user has to sudo to view syslog, and I changed that by adding myself to the adm group. But there are other problems that needed tightening up. So when someone says something like "logs are a problem with the operating system and are outside weewx" (something like that), they're right. PITA. Thanks. Here are the links I read up on this about: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52743279/uwsgi-log-rotation-gets-error-parent-directory-has-insecure-permissions https://github.com/rodjek/puppet-logrotate/issues/50 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55915275/error-ignoring-etc-logrotate-conf-because-it-is-writable-by-group-or-others (I think my problems were solved, at least on this install, by issuing "sudo chmod 755 -R /var/log")
