[ Fix is already in master ]


+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1128276 +++

Description of problem:

Monitoring -> Metrics tab, if you enter a time range with the wrong time, where start time is NOT before end time, usually by mistake, then UI will show an info warning, then "Cannot load metrics", then throw an exception in the log:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Start date 1412876100000 is not before 1407522900000
        at org.rhq.enterprise.server.measurement.MeasurementDataManagerBean.getMeasurementAggregate(MeasurementDataManagerBean.java:664) [rhq-server.jar:4.12.0]
        at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) [rt.jar:1.8.0]

Then, you cannot seem to reset the time range. The predefined ranges (1h, 4h, etc.) don't seem to do anything.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.12


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
0. Custom date range select
1. Enter start date in future, like Oct 12, 2014 (I wanted 2013)
2. Enter end date as current time
3. Save

Actual results: 
Three errors, one helpful, the next saying cannot load metrics, then an exception in the logs.

Expected results:
Probably should just prevent the user from entering bad data?

Additional info:
Chrome browser

Also I noticed the time range is saved in the database and cannot be fixed through the UI.

    ".resource.common.monitor.visibility.metricRange": "1412876100000|1407522900000",
    ".resource.common.monitor.visibility.metricRange.ro": "true",

This is stored in my user's configuration. The work-around is to use the RHQ cli to modify the config stuff.

... find Subject s
        var conf = s.getUserConfiguration()
        conf.getProperties().clear()
        SubjectManager.updateSubject(s);

Nice catch, Elias.
