Comment (by atagar):
> I disabled logging on my system, because I want my system to be more
amnesiac about its past. I don't think that Nyx should rely on existence
of old log files with BW events.
It doesn't (though it used to use those prior to 2.x). If all those
datapoints are from before Nyx started then they came from the output of a
'GETINFO bw-event-cache' command to tor.
You might not keep logs but the tor process itself still knows its last
several datapoints.
Again, Nyx is just displaying data it gets from Tor. If that data's being
faithfully reflected then this isn't a Nyx bug. If you feel that tor data
is incorrect for some reason we can move this ticket over to the network
team for further questions.
