Troubleshooting Weather Underground uploads

[spatula]

After a recent Windows update / reboot cycle, I'm having problems getting my station data sent to Weather Underground, though it is difficult to tell if that's because of Weather Underground's own routine problems, or something on my end.

For the sake of sanity, I stopped CumulusMX, updated to the latest, restarted it, and re-entered my station key from the WU "My Devices" page, but WU still asserts that my most recent data update was almost an hour ago.

I enabled debug logging in CumulusMX, however it does not appear to log anything about WU uploads at all. CWOP uploads appear to be happening normally.

Is there any way to get additional logging detail regarding network interactions with WU so I can troubleshoot this further? I didn't see anything obvious in the program itself.

enable debugging is the usual way? run cumulus for 5-10 minutes, disable debugging, stop cumulus, then zip up the mxdiags folder and post here.

you should see, even without debug, something like this:

and:

I expected to see something like that in the logs, but I don't. I wonder if it's because I have "RapidFire" turned on.

In any case, I fired up Microsoft Network Monitor and gave it the filter "((ipv4.SourceAddress & 255.0.0.0) == 169.0.0.0 || (ipv4.DestinationAddress & 255.0.0.0) == 169.0.0.0)" (a little overly generous with the subnet, but I was being lazy about being sure to grab every possible address that weatherstation.wunderground.com might land on) and I see that it is in fact sending data every 5 seconds, and WU is responding with the text/plain message "success" to everything.

This may be something that can be chalked up to WU's routine jankiness and at least from what I've seen in the Network Monitor, it doesn't appear to indicate any problem with CumulusMX at all, other than weirdly not being able to get the debug logging.

rapid fire enabled here. its logging. are you sure you have WU enabled (tick box)

mine is still reporting the WU url entry. so not sure why yours is not working.

I couldn't say, but I did find that if I disable Rapid Fire, I get logging for all the services. If I enable Rapid Fire, I don't. I haven't had time to dig much further than that to see if it's actually caused by something else.
