Just received an email from AWEKAS regarding my station reporting the following:
Dear AWEKAS member
Your station Conlig has not sent any data to AWEKAS Weather Network since 28.07.2020 13:04 local time.
Please check if there is a problem with the transmission, software or your weather station.
MB Nano Log reports:
Code: Select all
AWEKAS: 2020-07-28 14:15:29 Error: 2020-07-28 14:15:08 failed: Operation timed out. (no more tries)
no other service is affected.
I am using Meteobridge 4.4 (Jul 25 2020, build 3179), FW 1.3 which makes use of new V4 AWEKAS upload format.
Anyone else having upload issues to AWEKAS on this new format?
rebooted Nano, but error still there.
AWEKAS uploads every 15 mins, 1 retry.

I'm still on MB V4.3 and I'm also getting this error and my uploads are not making it to AWEKAS. I don't think this is related to AWEKAS API V4 because MB 4.3 does not have this update. At least it isn't supposed to have it according to the change log. Even though MN 4.3 is not supposed to have this update, it does seem like it has it because the field to enter the fast link key is gone.
I changed my AWEKAS upload to a different software for now and it started uploading. I'm now uploading with my GW1000 "Customized" server upload feature.

I just finished testing with Cumulus MX and it isn't working.

Just finished testing with Weather-Display....doesn't work.
I'm not going to bother testing WeeWX. It looks like the problem is at AWEKAS based on this testing. Strange that my GW1000 will upload though.

Seems OK again since 14:40 UTC.
Error messages in MB gone, uploads arrived OK at Awekas also.

Yes MB now working for me too.
Interesting that different software may be using using different destination servers. No idea where MB uploads to for AWEKAS but the following are the uploads destinations for these software:
GW1000 - ws.awekas.at/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php (manually configured)
Weather-Display - data.awekas.at/eingabe_pruefug.php (obtained from logs)
WeeWX - data.awekas.at/eingabe_pruefung.php (obtained from source code)
Cumulus MX - data.awekas.at/eingabe_pruefung.php (obtained from source code)
I think in this case what happened is that data.awekas.at went down but ws.awekas.at stayed up.

AFAIK the 'websites' accept data with a different protocols.
The ws.awekas.at/weatherstation/updateweatherstation.php uses the "WeatherUnderground / pwsweather" protocol with a get name for every weather-value
The data.awekas.at/eingabe_pruefung.php uses a few "more recent" get-name-value pairs plus a large chunk of values separated by a
;
Far more efficient as there are 111
; separated fields uploaded. Adding a name for every 1 or 2 character field would enlarge the upload very much.

I also received that mail (28.07.2020 13:11 local time).
Meanwhile everything is working again, but in my AWEKAS graph there is a 3 hour gap.
I didn't change anything still running on the 13-July release.

For those who don't understand [Austrian

] German:
"One of our servers got stuck today. The web server process crashed. After restart everything is okay again.
As soon as I have further information, I'm pleased to share this here and on Twitter. (Twitter then when the main service is not working)."
So far no further statement.
