Would someone give me an overview of different types of statistics collection on DMX and VMAX?

I have enabled storstpd on host directly attached to VMAX and do not see any files created. My goal is to have some kind of historical data available to look back.

In below setup are there any files collected and stored anywhere?

When I open a case with EMC for performance issue, without any of these files would they able to troubleshoot anything?
