Symptoms

Reports are missing the latest data collected for them. Each report-type is missing a different portion of the data which is relative to the report-type. This issue becomes very noticeable when creating long-term reports. For example, a 'last-year' report might omit the last month data, 'last-month' report might omit the last week data, and so on.

Impact

The presented data can be confusing and misleading.

Conditions

Every report that is done on a long history time range.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

A new data aggregation mechanism was inserted, so that all reports include activity up to the last hour. There is an option to make it available even for the last 5 minutes, although that might lead to too much CPU and disk load every 5 minutes. There is also an option to turn off this new aggregation mechanism if you are not interested in accurate long-history reports, and the aggregation task that takes place once an hour is too heavy for this machine.
