Notices
- Post-processing Reporting Background Process
After upgrade, a background process will be launched to start applying changes to the historical reporting data that will make the system more effecient. This process may take a few hours or up to 24 hours or even longer depending on the amount of data and the system performance. During this time, reporting information may be missing session counts, and a notice will be displayed on the admin dashboard, and on the service reporting pages advising of this. - Monthly Reports
The generation of reports across many accounts can cause high load and we recommend instead for users to obtain any required reports from the new reporting interface. During the upgrade process, all services will have their monthly reports switched off. Should it be preferred otherwise, you can disable this change by adding the following line to the database.php file before starting the upgrade: define(‘HISTORICS_MONTHLY_DISABLE_ON_UPDATE’, FALSE); - Reporting Retention
By default the reporting data retention period is chaning from 2 months to 6 months. This is possible through many performance improvements made to the application. It is possible to decrease or increase the retention period from System Config -> Statistics. - Raw Historic Downloads
It was previously possible to download the raw entries of every connection from the database. In the majority of cases, this is a huge amount of data and will cause high system stress and even timeout. With the new and improved reporting interfaces, we believe this option can be retired and is now removed. The option can be retained by adding the following line to the database.php file: define(‘HISTORICS_MONTHLY_RAW’, TRUE);
