Comment:

 Sorry, but I can't see how Globe would provide raw descriptors in addition
 to the Onionoo data.  There's a reason why Onionoo exists: handling raw
 descriptors requires a lot of coding effort and processing power.  Globe
 has enough stuff do to to present the preprocessed Onionoo data in a
 useful way.

 So, my usual suggestion in cases like this is to extend Onionoo to provide
 the data that Globe or another Onionoo client needs.  But providing raw
 descriptors, even for "just" a week, isn't something I'm comfortable
 adding to Onionoo.  It's hard enough to cope with the load right now, and
 this feature doesn't seem particularly useful to more than a handful of
 people.

 Here's what you should do: rsync the last three days of bridge descriptors
 from metrics and grep through them to find what you're looking for.

 Sorry, I'm closing this as won't fix.  (I hope that's okay for you, rndm,
 that I'm closing your ticket, but to me this is clearly out of scope.)
