I don’t know, given what you show to me, you don’t seem to have any data on this instance. So it’s expected ? I can’t reproduce any of this in any of the instances I can try it.

Also you seem to have some js/css cache issue. Some of the styles I see on this page are not what they should be.

Concerning the last backup which seems incorrect for you, can you enter a rails console and do: `Backup.all` please ?

So it’s probably right then, I don’t know your timezone, but the filename is done with server timer. The time you see in the dashboard, is file ctime converted to UTC and then shown in your timezone.

Unfortunately though i rebuilt both `data` and `web_only` containers about 30 minutes ago, the dashboard’s backup time still doesn’t refresh properly :(.

How to figure out from where the caching problem happens? Do you have any tips/ topics i should follow to fix my setup?

I do use cloudflare, but for my discourse subdomain, the DNS caching is off (i mean that orange cloud in this image, for me it is off=gray)

after a recent update, data are not shown individually anymore in Persian locale. this is what I get when I click on sign ups, topics, posts, …:

it’s resolved if I change the locale to English.

the error in reports panel:

`ArgumentError (invalid date) /var/www/discourse/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.5.0/gems/activesupport-5.2.0/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/conversions.rb:47:in `parse’`

Yes I fixed it last week with a lot of other things related to the locale you use. I wasn’t aware of this but we are passing dates in query param using your locale, and back and forth conversions were not handled correctly. I was holding releasing it on master for internal reasons, but should be released in the week coming.

In the **Daily Engaged User** report, when you select it to drill down to custom dates, is the number the _total_ number as counted daily engaged users, and not the actual total number (i.e. “Monthly Engaged Users”)? Or is that the total count of distinct users thus bringing about the average displayed on the dashboard?

I think this should be closed for now as this iteration of dashboard is complete (shipped in 2.0, some enhancement for 2.1).

It is the previous trend, still experimental feature enabled only for some graph, which will serve to evaluate the long-term trend (annual).

Yes I will work on this more post 2.2 release, it’s kind of experimental at the moment. My feeling so far is: works great for yearly view, not so much for everything else.

Also I kept it active as I wanted to see how it was going to be displayed on real life data. I don’t feel like it’s so annoying it should be removed until we settle on something definitive.

I shoulda said that I know what it is and that it’s experimental but that for new users we should prob put in a tooltip or something so that it at least makes sense. 🙂

But not urgent. Let’s roll with 2.2
