The Statistics Database object controls the use of the statistics database on the EMS, and provides status information for it. It is a child of the Element Management System object.

If you enable the statistics database using the Status at next restart - enabled field, you should back up the contents of this database as part of your EMS Server live data backups. For more details of backing up your EMS Server's data, see the MetaSwitch Class 4/5 Softswitch Ancillary Servers Guide. The statistics database can create a significant amount of extra data to back up. Over time, the statistics database will accumulate a significant amount of data. Although the current version maintains statistics for only a small number of objects, more objects will be added to the statistics database in future versions, which will also increase the amount of space. On average, a year's worth of data for 1000 objects requires approximately 0.5 gigabytes of space. |
