<subsystem xmlns="urn:infinispan:server:core:8.3" 
	   default-cache-container="local">
	<cache-container name="local"
			 default-cache="default" 
			 statistics="true"

</subsystem>

1. Configure the Cache Container

   The cache-container element specifies information about the cache container using the following parameters:
   1. The name parameter defines the name of the cache container.
   2. The default-cache parameter defines the name of the default cache used with the cache container.
   3. The statistics attribute is optional and is true by default. Statistics are useful in monitoring JBoss Data Grid via JMX or JBoss Operations Network, however they adversely affect performance. Disable this attribute by setting it to false if it is not required.
   4. The start parameter indicates when the cache container starts, i.e. whether it will start lazily when requested or "eagerly" when the server starts up. Valid values for this parameter are EAGER and LAZY.

2. Configure Per-cache Statistics

   If statistics are enabled at the container level, per-cache statistics can be selectively disabled for caches that do not require monitoring by setting the statistics attribute to false.
