com.glide.api.stats.max\_bytes\_nursery\_size

</td><td>

The maximum amount of memory, in bytes, used to store transaction data before it is written to the log. Transaction data is written to the log regularly based on the value of **com.glide.api.stats.persist\_interval**.

 If a large volume of transactions exceeds this memory limit before the log is written, some transactions may not be logged. The event api.stats.cache.size.reached is fired if this limit is reached.

</td></tr><tr><td>

com.glide.api.stats.daily\_ limit

</td><td>

The daily limit of requestor stats records per instance node. As soon is the value is reached, data is no longer aggregated and stored for that day. The event api.stats.requestor.daily.limit.reached is fired if this limit is reached.-   Type: integer
-   Default value: 20000
