## Symptoms

- The `api stats -group_by_domain` command shows data from all domains as "unknown domain" instead of their real domain name.

## Cause

The `api stats` command pulls the data from the `$MDS_FWDIR/log/api.csv` file and since the `ENHANCE_API_CSV` environment variable is not enabled by default, the related domain is not displayed.

This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

If you choose not to upgrade, you can use this workaround by enabling the`ENHANCE_API_CSV `environment variable.

To do so, run the command:  

`# $MDS_FWDIR/scripts/reload_env_vars.sh -e "ENHANCE_API_CSV=TRUE"`  

To disable this environment variable, run:  

`# $MDS_FWDIR/scripts/reload_env_vars.sh -e "ENHANCE_API_CSV=1"`
