Re: [Summary-Talk] gaps in service report bug?

[Thomas Waters <rxweb+@xxxxxxxx>]

speaking of gaps in service.  Are the hit averages  etc figured 
including those gaps?  for example, if your log goes  back 175 days, 
but there is a 3 week period in there where for  some reason a stupid 
admin turned logging off accidentally (I'll mention no names)- is the 
avg figured by the total/ 175 or total/(175-21)?

If it is the first: total/175, is there a way to change it to avg just 
based on the logs that exist?
