# Enable History for Load and Get Operations

To enable history for Get and Load operations, which can be useful for development and testing, you need to perform the following:

1. Go to the **Administration** menu and select the **Configuration** tile.
2. Go to the `/Cmf/System/Configuration/` path, and select **Create** on the top ribbon:

3. Create a **Configuration Entry** named `Statistics` with the following **Child Entries**:

   * Cmf/System/Configuration/Statistics/Enabled/
        * Type: Boolean
        * Value: `true`

   * Cmf/System/Configuration/Statistics/DumpInterval/
        * Type: Int32
        * Value: 1

        !!! info
            The Value is a number in minutes. The given example is set to 1 minute.

4. Restart the host component. After restarting the host, a table `dbo.T_Statistics` will be created. This is an example of how Get and Load operations are saved to the table:

!!! note
    When no longer needed, you should disable the `Cmf/System/Configuration/Statistics/Enabled/` Child Entry. This will avoid performance penalties due to statistics information gathering.

Moreover, these statistics only show MES operations that commit data. To see detailed performance insights for both read and write operations, you need to use the MES Observability Stack. For more information, see the [DevOps Center](https://portal.criticalmanufacturing.com/Help/devops-center/).
