2.7.7: Analysis interval is ignored

[plykkegaard]

Whether I set the interval to 30 minutes, 60 minutes or leave it a Auto the interval used/displayed is ~45 minutes
24 hours log data

Ahh the parameter is not set, from the PAL.log:

Name Value

---

AllCounterStats False
AnalysisInterval AUTO
BeginTime
DisplayReport True

[plykkegaard]

The defined interval configuration Is present in the argument list before the powershell script is executed, but the script always uses "AUTO"

Correct and I'm sorry, this is a known bug. I will likely fix this in PAL 3.0.

Still open error :(

This bug is caused by the parameter name mismatch for Interval:

In vb the parameter is passed in as "Interval"

In Pal.ps1 the parameter is called "AnalysisInterval" and it's default value is "AUTO"

Since it never gets updated it stays as "AUTO"

A quick fix is to change the paramater in PAL.ps1 to Interval and then add a line to assign it over to the variable used through out the code
$AnalysisInterval=$Interval

There is also a loose assignment in the code that works if you use the above workaround

$global:AnalysisInterval = $Interval

To be safe, chould change it to

$global:AnalysisInterval = $global:oPal.ArgsProcessed.AnalysisInterval
