When you upgrade an iConsole dashboard to the current CA DLP version, or if you install a new dashboard and need to aggregate your existing events, be aware that older event data may not be included in the dashboard charts and metrics until the day after the dashboard installation or upgrade.
If your aggregated data includes over 100,000 data events, events more than two months old will not be included in the dashboard until the day after the installation or upgrade. This is because the initial aggregation job for this older data is configured to run during an off-peak window to avoid impacting system performance during office hours. By default, this off-peak window starts at midnight (CMS time) and lasts 300 minutes until 5am, but you can reconfigure it to run when you want.
This delay in displaying older data can also occur if you purge and reload the dashboard data. Again, this only affects dashboards with aggregated data that includes over 100,000 data events. But see the note below.
For details about rescheduling the initial aggregatin for older events, see the 'Dashboard Data Aggregation' section in the Deployment Guide.
Note: There is generally no need to purge and re-aggregate dashboard data in the current CA DLP release Unlike in previous releases where, for example, changing the timeslot length automatically caused all data to be purged and re-aggregated, data is now re-synchronized automatically (if necessary) when the dashboard configuration is changed.
