Don't use anvil(8) for long-term statistics.
ANVIL(8) ANVIL(8)

The anvil(8) server maintains an in-memory table with information about
recent clients requests. No persistent state is kept because standard
system library routines are not sufficiently robust for update-inten-
sive applications.
Although the in-memory state is kept only temporarily, this may require
a lot of memory on systems that handle connections from many remote
clients. To reduce memory usage, reduce the time unit over which state
is kept.
Instead, use a policy daemon with persistent database.
