Status logs can be configured to capture per second, per minute, and per hour snapshots of real-time activity to special XML formatted log files. In addition, these snapshots can be appended to create a log file containing structured data points at the given intervals.

Note that these snap-shots are available via the api and by XCI request even if they are not configured to be saved to log files.

Here are three sample snap-shots taken from one of our spamtrap pre-processing systems:

Sample status.second snap-shot

Sample status.minute snap-shot

Sample status.hour snap-shot

These status reports all use the same format to provide useful performance monitoring data. In fact, with only a few additions the status.minute report is exactly what is sent back to our support systems once per minute (or so) as telemetry.
