Configuring multiple Periodic Stats Loggers

About this task

You can create multiple Periodic Stats Loggers to:

Log different statistics
View historical information about gauges
To create a log at different intervals, such as logging cumulative operations statistics every hour

To create a new log, use the existing Stats Logger as a template to get reasonable settings, including rotation and retention policy.

Run dsconfig in interactive mode.

When prompted, enter the LDAP or LDAPS connection parameters.

Example:
```
$ bin/dsconfig
```
To change to the Advanced Objects menu, enter o.
In the main menu, enter the selection for Plugins.
In the Plugin management menu, enter the selection for Create a new plugin.
To use an existing plugin as a template, in the Create a New Periodic Stats Logger Plugin menu, enter t.
Enter the number corresponding to the existing stats logger as a template.
Enter a descriptive name for the new stats logger.

For this example, enter Stats Logger-10s.
Enter the log file path to the file.

For this example, enter logs/dsstats2.csv.
In the menu, make any other changes to the logger. To save and apply the configuration, enter f.

Example:

For this example, change the log-interval to 10s, and the suppress-if-idle to FALSE.

You should see two loggers, dsstats.csv and dsstats2.csv, in the logs directory.
