Automatically deleting statistics: possible workaround

[J V]

Hello,

I'm thinking of enabling some statistics, but am a bit worried about the space it takes. Is there a way to automatically clear the statistics for a variable (e.g. after x recorded values, or delete at a specific day/time, delete all entries older than some time interval, ...)?

If the functionality is not there by default, can it maybe be "hacked in" by using the web api:

http://www.loxone.com/enen/service/documentation/api/webservices.html

Using the file commands:
-
http://miniserver/dev/fslist/ Lists the root directory of the SD card
http://miniserver/dev/fslist/path/ Lists the directory path on the SD card
http://miniserver/dev/fsget/filepath/ Retrieves a file (replace filepath with the file name)
http://miniserver/dev/fsdel/filepath/ Deletes a file (replace filepath with the file name)
-
it may be possible to delete a file from the Loxone by calling its own web api.

The question the remains... which files store the statistics...?

Any suggestions?

Just managed to verify things... (still using 7.4.4.14)
The good news:
- for a statistic, the matching file has a generated name: for sure it can be identified which one is for which variable by adding one at a time and checking the name of the new file in the folder /stats
- it can be deleted from the web interface
The bad news:
- once the file is deleted, it is not recreated. It is only recreated upon boot of the miniserver.

So cleaning the file and hoping that it starts over again does not seem to work...
