6 months ago Hi @Gul-liver,
I think I can reproduce this problem. It seems that, after you delete every visit for a day, the archives are properly flagged for recreation. But, as no visit for that day (or segment) exists anymore, no new archive will be created to replace the old one.
To verify this assumption, could you run run archiving with "debug" output and check if a specific line is written?
# add -vvv to your archive command and all parameters you also need
./console core:archive -vvvThis may generate a LOT of output, so you may want to limit the archiving to a narrow date range that is displaying a wrong report for your site (e.g. using --force-date-range=2024-03-09,2024-03-11).
You should receive output similar to this:
...

INFO [2024-03-21 23:17:38] 5347 Starting Matomo reports archiving...

...If my assumption is correct, you should find a row with "DEBUG ... Found invalidated archive we can skip ..." for the days with the outdated reports.

What happened?
Hi,
With a matomo hosted on a server I administer, I have a problem recreating the statistics when I want to delete a visit (which is not significant). I've opened a forum post; [https://forum.matomo.org/t/stats-de-performance-non-recreees/55766/1](forum post)
In short, when I delete a visit with the tool present in the "administration" >> "PrivacyManager" >> "gdprTools" section
The visit is indeed deleted in "Visitors", but it's still taken into account in many statistics (hours, geographical origin, device...) And in the "performance" menu, where you'll find access times, DOM generation times, etc., the deleted visit still has an impact. The website concerned has few visits, so it's easy to see this concern.
What should happen?
When one or more visits are deleted, they should no longer have an impact on the statistics.
How can this be reproduced?
Click on "Admin" >> RGPD tools" >> Search for a visite (with its ID) >> Delete it
./console core:invalidate-report-data --dates=2024-03-10 --sites=3
./console core:archive --force-all-websites --url=https://url-du-site-matomo/
