Matomo analytics – Retroactive segment

Hi @tmaintranet

there is an option in the app/config/global.ini.php file which defines how retroactive are the segments

; When archiving segments for the first time, this determines the oldest date that will be archived.
; This option can be used to avoid archiving (for instance) the lastN years for every new segment.
; Valid option values include: "beginning_of_time" (start date of archiving will not be changed)
;                              "segment_last_edit_time" (start date of archiving will be the earliest last edit date found,
;                                                        if none is found, the created date is used)
;                              "segment_creation_time" (start date of archiving will be the creation date of the segment)
;                              editLastN where N is an integer (eg "editLast10" to archive for 10 days before the segment last edit date)
;                              lastN where N is an integer (eg "last10" to archive for 10 days before the segment creation date)
process_new_segments_from = "beginning_of_time"

feel free to update it by setting the new value in your config.ini.php file:
