When you say "generate", do you mean that you are accessing a web form that 
will generate an Analog report on the fly? (there will usually be a "Program 
Started" timestamp at the top of the Analog report). If you are getting "fresh" 
reports, but with old data, then you need to find the Analog configuration 
files, and verify that it's looking in the correct location for the logfiles. 
You may also want to check that the web form is actually allowing you to select 
the most recent logfiles.

The answer to that question very much depends on the specifics of the 
situation. You might have to tell Analog to look in a new location for 
logfiles. The format of your logfiles might have changed, in which case, you 
might have to tell Analog about the new format. Analog might be working just 
fine, but the form that you use to generate reports might be out of date, and 
only looking at old logfiles. Or, if the reports that you are seeing aren't 
being freshly generated, but old, static reports, the cron job that creates the 
reports might not be running any more.

Most of these questions can be answered by logging on to the server where the 
reports are, and figuring out how (and when) they were created, but there 
aren't any generic answers - it all depends on how the server was set up. 

I don't want to discourage you - it's not actually as complicated as it might 
sound, it's just that "local knowledge" is needed to answer the question.
