<statistics.agent> element
The statistics.agent element configures the Partition's statistics agent. The
Partition statistics agent consists of two components:
■
A statistics collector that periodically collects statistics data on the Partition
and saves that data onto disk. These periodic data samples build up on
disk enabling the product tools to provide current, and historical current
statistical data on a Partition.
■
A statistics reaper that periodically reaps (cleans up) the historical data
from disk.
The Partition statistics agent is intended for collecting short term statistical
data. However, it is only physically limited by the amount of disk space it is
allowed to consume.
