Parameter documentation

This parameter specifies the maximum number of statistics files that can be held. Since the statistics files are written every hour, this parameter specifies the period for which detailed statistical information is available. This is the old behavior of the statistics. Values from 1 to 11 are ignored by the kernel, and at least 12 files are held. This means that information is always available for at least half a day.
