Unless it was not recognized as relevant. Since for the time being I am 
eliminating magic as the cause, something concrete is causing this and 
it should be leaving a trace. In your post you had this affecting 77 out 
of 157 databases in the cluster.

1) Do the 77 share some trait the other 80 don't.

2) Do the OS system logs reveal anything?

3) What was happening in the databases just prior to the time the stats 
reset?

4) Do you have external tools accessing these databases?

5) Is the cluster directly open to the world?
