Visits and Ecommerce numbers too low for one day after server migration

Hi everyone,

I migrated my Matomo instance to a new server on 2026-08-25. Afterwards I noticed that the visits, hits, pageview, … figures for that day are far too low. The numbers for the current day are fine again, so it seems to affect only the day of the migration.

What I have tried so far:

./console core:invalidate-report-data --sites=all --dates=2026-08-25
./console core:invalidate-report-data --sites=all --dates=2026-08-25 --segment=""
./console core:archive

The archiving ran through, but the numbers for 2026-08-25 stay just as low as before.

The interesting part: as soon as I apply any segment, the numbers are correct. So the raw tracking data seems to be complete and only the default segment (“All Visits”) returns the wrong values. That makes me think the pre-archived “All Visits” reports are somehow not being rebuilt, while segment archives are generated on the fly and therefore show the real data.

Has anyone seen this before, or has an idea what could cause it?

Additional info:

  • Matomo version: 5.13.0
  • archiving via cron

The raw tracking data seems fine, so this looks more like a stale/incomplete “All Visits” archive for 2026-08-25. check the archive logs and matomo_archive_* tables for that date, then force a fresh archive with debugging enabled. The fact that segments show correct numbers is a useful clue.

thanks for the rply!

running the archive command with --force-date-range over the last 3 days (took a few hours) fixed it - the data is correct now.
