What happens here is that real time analytics on SP is done based on time batch windows and sliding windows. The query on the events in these windows are based on the time of the window and not really on the time the actual event occurred (the time the request was processed on API Manager). If we can find a way to solve the original problem of the data being queried based on the actual time of its occurrence, this problem would go away.
Although we argue that this problem exists only for the MG due to its aggregate and upload architecture, the same issue can occur for any other client that is sending data to SP after queueing on its side. The occurrence of the problem you are explaining can be very frequent for the MG due to its architecture. But really, the actual problem is something that exists for any client that queues and sends data to SP. I think we should try and solve that problem first. And also, one more thing we should do is to send data to SP from the MG directly when the connection is available. And only write to file when a connection doesn't exist.
