Stats History used to show 24hrs but now only shows 15 minutes of data? I cannot find where to change this back? the option that should be in the Themes / Dashboard and Realtime monitoring has no options for time??
This feature has been implemented for the next release! There will be an option in theme settings to select the retention period for live stats storage.
It can already be tested using the nightly version of Webmin.
After running more in-depth tests, I’m back to my original conclusion that using longer storage periods for live stats won’t provide a good user experience. Technically, it could be implemented, and we could display only a slice of the data, make graphs zoomable, and allow scrolling through the timeline—but that would be an entirely separate project!
For the time being, and with the upcoming release, options for 6, 12, 18, and 24 hours will not be shown by default in the select dropdown menu! The maximum store interval currently supported and recommended by the live stats design is 3 hours.
However, for anyone who wants to go against this recommendation and be exposed to a sub-optimal experience or even a browser tab crash, it will still be possible to select longer intervals; to do so, hold down the Alt key on Linux/PC or the Option key on macOS before clicking the select dropdown menu in “Yes, and store stats for” option, to have these extended intervals displayed.
