# Statistics Compression Configuration Parameters

This section describes the `StatsCompression` configuration settings that control how Controller compresses old statistical data.

NOTE: If you use a shared statistics database for Coordinator and Controller components, you must not configure statistics compression in both the Coordinator and Controller configuration files.

For consistency, when you use a shared statistics database, Micro Focus recommends that you configure statistics compression only in the Controller components.

For example:

    [StatsCompression]
    Levels=3
    0=CompressLevel0
    1=CompressLevel1
    2=ThrowAway

    [CompressLevel0]
    MinAge=3600
    Interval=120

    [CcompressLevel1]
    MinAge=86400
    Interval=3600

    [ThrowAway]
    MinAge=2592000
    Interval=0

Interval
