We just noticed an interesting problem today, which I'm pretty sure isn't the program it's self, but somehow related. We've had two older versions installed and running throughout our network for quite some time now, well before I ever started working here. For some reason over the past couple of days all of our "Days Inactive" columns, on every switch, regardless of which version we use, is blank. Is there anyway to figure out why this is happening? I just upgraded to version 11.4 to see if that helped, but i don't expect to see any results from it for a couple of days.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This happened to me, too. It's because in
version 11.1, I split the source files apart
from the output files and state files, and I
didn't document how to make the transition to
the new scheme, sorry.
When you installed version 11.1 (or later),
you defined the new $StateFileDirectory
variable in your ThisSite.pm file. When
you ran ScanSwitch.pl, it created a fresh
idlesince directory in the directory you
defined as your $StateFileDirectory.
The idlesince files were initialized, so all
the counters started from zero. You have
blank values in "Days Inactive" because
the code only shows values that are greater
than $UnusedAfter, which is probably the
default value of 60 days.
If can you restore an old version of your
idlesince directory, and put it in the place
that you've defined with $StateFileDirectory,
you should get back your old "Days Inactive"
counters. If you can't restore, you'll have
to wait 60 days until your new idlesince
counters are large enough to show up.
Sorry about this.
