Issue/Introduction

The number of days displayed in analytics is based on the setting '<collector>.initial_collect_before_now_days' in the application.properties file but what if you wanted to add more days? Updating this value and restarting analytics doesn't change the number of days that are visible. What can be done to increase this value?
