Configuring Historical Reporting

---

Historical reporting consists of collecting information about call and application activities and related statistics and sorts and sends the information to local or remote databases. Historical statistics database maintenance components consist of a database purging service that periodically removes older historical statistics data and a database synchronization service that simultaneously updates the local and remote databases. The remote database is typically able to store a larger amount of historical data.
