Universal dashboard api persistent data

What's the story around persistent data in the unerversal dashboard? Maintaining historical performance data or other long term data through service restarts would be helpful I think, without having to setup a database and all that. Or maybe this is already supported and I just haven't found it yet?

@murrahjm There currently isn't a built-in mechanism for this. Since the threads are only running when a page is loaded the dashboard isn't actually collecting the performance data in the background. There would need to be another mechanism built in for that.

It makes it a little more complex than just a dashboard and that's why I haven't started to work on anything around this. I still think that DB access\storage is a good idea but I need to think about how it would fit into UD.

I was looking for such capability, this would be an awesome addition to UD, what would be nice aswell is if there a way to run or execute UD from a server back-end perspective, inother words execute the threads @ runtime from an IIS perspective? that way we can incorporate custom triggers, alerts, record certain events etc...
