Historical Statistics

The historical_stats command enables users to collect statistics for every N hours (N
=< 4 hours) and upload the statistics for every class to an FTP server. The data is sent in an
ASCII format file with three sections. The first section includes the upload time, Secure Router
IP address, sample interval in minutes, and the upload interval in minutes. The second section
includes class-based statistics for all bundles configured and enabled with QoS. The third
section includes class-based statistics. Empty lines and header lines in the file start with the
">" character. The bundle statistics start with the character "B," and class statistics start with
the character "C." These designations allow easier parsing of the file.
