A new, cluster-wide database of channel counters can be created
with the COUNTERS CRDB command. The new database will have all
counters zeroed except for the count of messages stored in each
channel. Those counts will be determined by entries in the PMDF
queue cache database. In addition, if an in-memory section for
association and channel counters on this node does not already
exist, it will be created as well.
Once the on-disk, cluster-wide database exists, you may use
the COUNTERS SYNCHRONIZE command to merge the information from
the node-specific, in-memory cache of counters into the on-disk
database.
