Period of Statistics (cont)

    Hi,

    Statify – Extended Evaluation uses just the data from Statify and calculates any statistics on demand; no own settings or data are kept.

    So if you leave the default value 14 days, Statify – Extended Evaluation can only evaluate the data of the last 14 days, as Statify comes with a cronjob which deletes the data longer than the time period set. That’s why Statify allows you to set the time period to any number of days.

    So two questions …

    1) What is the longest default value that can be safely set?
    2) Is it possible to remove or disable the cron job in Statisfy?

    The owner of the blog wishes to have perpetual stats. Can this be done?

    Hi @alentogroup,

    1) In Statify you can set the time period to any number of days you like to keep the data, but you should consider two asepects:

    1. The database size will grow linear with the number of entries as Statify saves all data in the local database for privacy reasons. The longer you keep the data, the larger the database becomes.
    2. As Statify – Extended Evaluation calculates all statistics on demand, loading the statistics will be a little slower for a high number of entries.

    For example, on one of my websites 600,000 entries from 5 years are stored in the Statify table (size: 50 MiB).

    2) There is no need to remove/disable the Statify cron job. If you set the number of days to 100,000 days it will the delete the data from today not before 2294 (100,000 days : 365 days/year = 273,97… years). The cron job will just check that there’s nothing to delete.

    Kind regards
    Patrick
