Notes	When there are more records in history than displayed, the output for a group ends with “...” (ellipses). Notice that this is a history of counters. Autocompletion and output can contain information for groups (interfaces) that is not present anymore in the system, and vice versa. If counters are not sampled, they will not appear in the output. Output of collected information is implemented only for the following samples:memorypagingpower
