Birdseye now tells you when your statistics have stopped updating, and why.

Birdseye adds up each finished day in an hourly job on Flarum's scheduler. If that job never runs, today's numbers keep moving while every chart quietly stops at the last day it added, which looks like Birdseye losing your data.

  • A notice at the top of the dashboard says which day the statistics stop at. It shows on the admin page and in the forum's Analytics window.
  • If Flarum's scheduler isn't running, the notice says so and links to Flarum's guide to setting it up. This is the usual cause: the scheduler needs a cron job on your server.
  • If the scheduler is running but the statistics still stopped, the notice says that instead, so you know to look in storage/logs for an error.

Birdseye keeps raw visits for 3 days. Once the scheduler is set up, run php flarum birdseye:sync to catch up on the days it missed.

After updating

Run php flarum cache:clear so your forum serves the rebuilt files instead of the copies it already has cached.
