Hi Piotr,

this one will work too...

[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats dump
/var/tmstat/cluster.tm2 [READONLY]: nextBlockId=384, last update at 2017-03-29 14:53:35 

all facts:

[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats set "aaa aaa string aaa" 1
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats set "aaa aaa gauge aaa" 1
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats set "aaa aaa counter aaa" 1
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats set "aaa aaa min aaa" 1
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats set "aaa aaa max aaa" 1
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats dump
/var/tmstat/cluster.tm2 [READONLY]: nextBlockId=1504, last update at 2017-03-29 14:54:05 

all facts:
   [ aaa=aaa ][aaa] = 1 (2017-03-29 14:54:00)
   [ aaa=aaa ][aaa] = 1 (2017-03-29 14:54:00)
   [ aaa=aaa ][aaa] = 1 (2017-03-29 14:54:01)
   [ aaa=aaa ][aaa] = 1 (2017-03-29 14:54:00)
   [ aaa=aaa ][aaa] = 1 (2017-03-29 14:54:00)

[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  bigstart stop istatsd 
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  rm -rf /var/tmstat2/cluster/* 
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  rm -rf /var/tmstat2/blade/* 
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  bigstart start istatsd
[user@unit:Active:Standalone] tmp  istats dump
/var/tmstat/cluster.tm2 [READONLY]: nextBlockId=384, last update at 2017-03-29 14:53:35
