Try setting STATISTIC_SAMPLING_ENABLED to false to disable statistic sampling.
I think we should delete "An empty string (default) disables statistic archival." from the javadocs for STATISTIC_ARCHIVE_FILE to avoid confusion and redundancy with STATISTIC_SAMPLING_ENABLED. See below for the javadocs on both properties. /** * The static String definition of the <i>"statistic-archive-file"</i> property <a * name="statistic-archive-file"/a> * </p> * <U>Description</U>: The file that statistic samples are written to. An empty string (default) * disables statistic archival. * </p> * <U>Default</U>: "" */ String STATISTIC_ARCHIVE_FILE = "statistic-archive-file"; /** * The static String definition of the <i>"statistic-sampling-enabled"</i> property <a * name="statistic-sampling-enabled"/a> * </p> * <U>Description</U>: "true" causes the statistics to be sampled periodically and operating * system statistics to be fetched each time a sample is taken. "false" disables sampling which * also disables operating system statistic collection. Non OS statistics will still be recorded * in memory and can be viewed by administration tools. However, charts will show no activity and * no statistics will be archived while sampling is disabled. Starting in 7.0 the default value * has been changed to true. If statistic sampling is disabled it will also cause various metrics * seen in gfsh and pulse to always be zero. * </p> * <U>Default</U>: "true" * </p> * <U>Allowed values</U>: true|false */ String STATISTIC_SAMPLING_ENABLED = "statistic-sampling-enabled"; On Tue, Jan 21, 2020 at 1:06 AM Mario Kevo <mario.k...@est.tech> wrote: > Hi, > > We are trying to disable archiving statistic in the file by providing > empty string to --statistic-archive-file.
