Which CLI command gathers historical statistics from the appliance and outputs the information to a single *.csv file for processing and analysis?

The fstool sysinfo stats command is specifically designed to gather historical system performance statistics from a Forescout appliance. This includes data points such as CPU utilization, memory usage, disk I/O, and network traffic over a defined period. The command then compiles this information and outputs it into a single, comma-separated values (.csv) file. This format is ideal for offline processing, trend analysis, or importing into other analytical tools to troubleshoot performance issues or for capacity planning.

A. fstool tech-support: This command gathers a comprehensive set of logs, configuration files, and diagnostic data, packaging them into a single archive file (e.g., .zip) for Forescout support.

B. fstool appstats: This command displays real-time statistics for various Forescout platform application processes and modules, not historical system-wide data in a CSV file.

C. fstool va stats: This command is specific to the Vulnerability Assessment (VA) module and retrieves statistics related to VA scans and results, not general appliance performance.

D. fstool stats: This command typically displays current, real-time system performance statistics directly to the console, rather than compiling historical data into a file.
