history empty

Controls whether empty history files are to be created.

Syntax

[no] history <instance> empty

Syntax Description

Keyword	Description
no	(Optional) Empty history files will not be created.
instance	The history instance to be modified. If the specified instance does not exist, it will be created unless the no keyword was also specified. Must be alphanumeric.

Defaults

By default, the system will not create empty history files.

Usage Guidelines

Once a history instance has been defined, history files will be created peridically based on the setting of the history interval command. By default, no history file is created for an interval if there were no history records generated during that interval. This command specifies that history files should always be created for an interval, even if the file contains no records.
