746961 - Statistics have a one day shift for some users, showing weekend stats on Sun-Mon

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Statistics, defect)

Description

[ominds]

Attachment: Jorge checked the stats page and said he saw everything normal, guessed it might be related to timezone, so I'm attaching this screenshot to show you what I'm seeing, I'm +3 GMT

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120310010446

Steps to reproduce:

Viewing my statistics at 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flashfirebug/statistics/

I'm not logged in


Actual results:

You'll notice that the extension usage goes down on weekends, that is, Saturday and Sunday. But last three weeks, it's been going down Sunday and Monday (off by 1). This began on April 1st 2012 (Sunday) and has continued on ever since.


Expected results:

They should show on Saturday and Sunday as was the case before April 1st.

I should emphasize that this is showing for me as a non-logged-in user. So I'm guessing it's either javascript or client side headers related. I would guess it's some code dependent on client side headers.

You can of course easily check this by viewing statistics while being logged out.

Comment 3

[Jorge Villalobos [:jorgev] (he/him)]

I get the same result while logged in or logged out, so I don't think that's relevant, unless you see different results.

Comment 4

[ominds]

Yes, you're quite right. I see the same problem logged in or out.

Comment 5

[ominds]

Should point out that statistics haven't updated since last Tuesday the 17th. I thought it might be some work you're doing on it and didn't warrant a separate issue.

It's a separate issue: http://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2012/04/13/statistics-downtime-next-week/

The latest stats look correct to me.  Is this still observable?
