Every BGP peer appeared twice on longer chart ranges, each copy cut short. A change in 1.79.0 started storing peer history under the connection name instead of the session name RouterOS reports, which is the right key — but the history already recorded under the old name stayed there, so a range covering both read as two different peers. The two halves are now joined back together on upgrade, and the older history is visible again in one line.
Upgrading or rebooting a router raised a BGP alert for every peer on it. A reboot restarts all its sessions at once, which looked exactly like each session dropping on its own. On a rolling upgrade of five routers that was fifteen alerts in twenty minutes, and the same routers showed up as eleven "flapping" peers. A device that has just restarted is now silent on this alert — the reboot itself is already reported, once, instead of once per peer.
The metrics-history check claimed hours of missing data on healthy devices. It counted how many readings arrived against how many a perfect five-minute rhythm would give, but collection runs a little slower than that in practice, so every device permanently looked 10-14% short and a full day reported over three hours lost. It now measures the longest continuous stretch with no reading in it, which is what a real gap is. The practical gain is the opposite of cosmetic: because the old count was always part-way to the alarm, a genuine gap shorter than about an hour and a half could never raise it.

The history check now also watches BGP collection, not just device health. The two are gathered separately, so BGP can stop being recorded while everything else keeps arriving — which is exactly what happened in the incident this check was built for. A device is flagged when either one has a hole, and the report says which.
