+Feature: Session Persistence
+************************************
+
+The session persistence feature allows drools kie sessions to be persisted in a database surviving pdp-d restarts.

+    .. code-block:: bash
+       :caption: Enable session persistence
+       :linenos:
+
+        policy stop
+        features enable session-persistence
+
+The configuration is located at:
+
+    -  *$POLICY_HOME/config/feature-session-persistence.properties*
+
+Each controller that wants to be started with persistence should contain the following line in its *<controller-name>-controller.properties*
+
+    -  *persistence.type=auto*
+
+    .. code-block:: bash

+
+Facts will survive PDP-D restart using the native drools capabilities and introduce a performance overhead.
