Log Chart Analyzer

Question

When trying to view the log charts for an application in essbase, it shows me the "Earliest date in the log file": 15 Jun 2011
I also see the "Latest date in the log file"; 4th Oct 2011.
My problem is that i am not able to view any recent log chart statistics on the application since its showing the latest date on the log file as the 4th of October. How can i change this so it starts showing me all logS?

This from the EAS guide might help you because you must first put the data into the log chart database before you can view it. If you have deleted your application log, it will not be able to add the data to your log chart.
Generating Log ChartsBefore you can view and filter log charts, you must generate log chart information. When you generate charts for a log, the log is parsed into the relational database on Essbase Administration Server. Each subsequent time that you view log charts, you click Refresh to update the log database with messages written to the log since the last time you viewed log charts. You generate log charts only once for each log.
A log is not altered when it is loaded to the log database on Essbase Administration Server, and the log file on Essbase Server is unaffected. Log chart information is stored in the log database until you delete the log charts.
Log chart generation runs as a background process so that you can continue working in Administration Services Console. While the generation processes in the background, you can exit the console, but you cannot shut down Essbase Administration Server until the generation process is complete.
To generate log charts for a log:
1.From Enterprise View or a custom view, select an Essbase Server or an application.
2.Right-click, and select Generate log charts.
A message indicates that the generation process has been launched in the background and an ID for the process is displayed. You can use the ID to track the status of the background process in the Background Process Status window.
3.Click OK.
