# opendmarc-importstats(8)

import OpenDMARC statistics/history data

## NAME

**opendmarc-importstats** - import OpenDMARC statistics/history data

## SYNOPSIS

**opendmarc-importstats**

## DESCRIPTION

**opendmarc-importstats** is a fairly trivial shell script, typically executed by *[cron(8)](/cron/8.md),* that rotates an OpenDMARC statistics/history data file to a unique filename and then attempts to import it to a local database for later processing by executing *[opendmarc-import(8)](/opendmarc-import/8.md).* On successful import, the unique file is removed; on failure, the script executes *[ls(1)](/ls/1.md)* on the file and exits without removing the unique file.  The intent of this last step is to cause *cron* to generate a message to a responsible party so that the failure will be investigated.

## VERSION

This man page covers the version of *opendmarc-importstats* that shipped with version 1.4.2 of *OpenDMARC.*
