    Abstract: An amount of storage space required to maintain counter information for a storage system is reduced without reducing a temporal granularity or tracking granularity of the counter information. Rather than periodically recording actual (i.e., raw) counter values for counters, difference (i.e., delta) values may be recorded. For a given counter, a difference (delta value) between a value of the counter for a given point in time (PIT) and a value of the counter for a previous PIT may be determined, and this delta value may be stored as opposed to storing the raw counter value. This delta value may be a significantly smaller value than the raw value. To further reduce the amount of storage space required, no value may be stored for a counter for a given PIT if it is determined that there is no difference between a counter value for the given PIT and a previous PIT.
