What happened
What this says
Current to 11 Oct 26Refresh completed but new data did not appear in dashboard layer. Root cause was bug in dashboard connector. Issue took 7 days to resolve from first report.
Problem: Refresh appeared to complete on 23 Jul 2026 but Hollowmere's dashboards continued showing stale data. Josh Fairburn reported the issue twice, and Olivia Grant initially attributed it to refresh scheduling, but then identified a bug in the dashboard connector itself.
Handling: Escalated to Kieran Walsh on 23 Jul 2026. Ticket solved on 29 Jul 2026 and closed on 2 Aug 2026. Slow first response (135 minutes) for a data freshness issue during critical operational use.
Watch: Even after the platform refresh was fixed, a second layer broke; the dashboard connector bug went undetected initially because the refresh layer appeared to work.

- created · Josh Fairburn 22 Jul 2026 12:26We're still seeing stale data in the dashboards. I reported this earlier and was told a fix was being deployed, but it's been over an hour and the data still hasn't updated. This is causing problems for our teams and we need this resolved urgently.
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 22 Jul 2026 14:41Hi Josh, I've reviewed both your tickets and I can see you've reported this twice. The fix was deployed but the next refresh hasn't run yet, they're scheduled for 07:00 every morning. Once it runs tonight, your data will be current. In the meantime, if you need specific data for your standup, let me know what you're looking for and I can pull it manually. Thanks, Olivia

- internal_note · Olivia Grant 23 Jul 2026 15:56Josh reports dashboards still stale after refresh. Checked, refresh completed but new data not appearing in dashboard layer. Bug in the dashboard connector. Escalating to Kieran.
