Anybody know what the data in /var/lib/csf/stats/system is for?

Running csf and I recognize it makes files to do the magic it does, but wondering what the massive, huge system file is in /var/lib/csf/stats/ and if it can be deleted?

Thanks.

  Hey hey!  From the CSF config file itself:

  # This option will gather basic system statstics. Through the UI it displays
  # various graphs for disk, cpu, memory, network, etc usage over 4 intervals:
  #  . Hourly (per minute)
  #  . 24 hours (per minute)
  #  . 7 days (per minute averaged over an hour)
  #  . 30 days (per minute averaged over an hour) - user definable
  # The data is stored in /var/lib/csf/stats/system and the option requires the
  # perl GD::Graph module
  #
  # Note: Disk graphs do not show on Virtuozzo/OpenVZ servers as the kernel on
  # those systems do not store the required information in /proc/diskstats
  # On new installations or when enabling this option it will take time for these
  # graphs to be populated
  ST_SYSTEM = "1"

  Thanks cPRex - so the graphic module gathers the stats from all those files.  Would it be safe to delete these files?   I would only miss out on the graphical stats?

  I'm not sure - we don't support CSF so I haven't personally used that option.

  Thanks I'll try to raise an answer from csf but they are notoriously difficult to get a response from. 

  Appreciate however the information you provided at least I know that directory is for CSF and not Cpanel/WHM data.
