unusual refresh behavior
rellik
I have not used the main site for a while, and when I go to the mole
site (snitch), it shows "Sorry, no results".
Then, I go to the main side and perform a moleable action.
Now, when I go back to snitch, I should be able to refresh the page
and see the action reported, right? But it doesn't happen that way.
When I hit refresh, it comes back with "Sorry, no results".
A few seconds later it auto-refreshes, and now it shows the right
report, except that it still says "Sorry, no results" under the report-
line.
Weirder still, when I hit refresh again, the report disappears, and I
am back at only "Sorry, no results".
As I perform more requests, and manually refresh, 'tops' and the
graphs get updated, but not the report-lines. Those only get updated
with the auto-refresh.

Just curious does your site use the default utc timezone or some other
timezone ? If so you may need to tune the snitch as it currently uses utc.
Also if you used the filter form and set the time range to say last day do you
now see the report with your latest moled actions ?
Another thing you can try is looking into the snitch log and running the query by
hand to make sure you get results back from the db.
We may need to tune the existing snitch code base to cover the various scenarios.
So please do report back...

No, I am not running at utc, which does indeed seem to be the
problem. Looking at the database transactions for manual- vs. auto-
refresh, there is the following difference:
WHERE (mole_logs.created_at > '2007-04-15 00:21:16')
WHERE (mole_logs.created_at > '2007-04-15 05:22:15')
so clearly in auto-refresh it is using the local time, but in the
other it is using utc, which is in the future.

Setting the filter uses utc, too, instead of server time.
### 3
Setting the filter turns the auto-refresh feature off. It's not clear
if this is intentionally or not, especially since you can turn it back
on by clicking on it.

Correct when you refresh the browser by hand, the snitch will
use the server time and gather logs for the last hour. During
auto-refresh it fetches the time of the last message so it can
push out the log deltas back to the browser.
If your are not using utc you will need to adjust the code in the
fetch_log action to adjust for your server timezone..

Same as above...

Yes by design, once you hit the filter form we automatically turn auto refresh off.
You can, as you point out, toggle the auto refresh

snitch/app/controllers:
last_pull = @filter.range.minutes.ago if last_pull.nil? or force
#last_pull = @filter.range.minutes.ago.utc if last_pull.nil? or
force
