+Statistics collector
+--------------------
+
+This modules gathers various counters from the query resolution and server internals,
+and offers them as a key-value storage. Any module may update the metrics or simply hook
+in new ones.

+
+Properties
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. function:: stats.get(key)
+
+ :param string key: i.e. ``"answer.total"``
+ :return: ``number``
+
+Return nominal value of given metric.
+
+.. function:: stats.set(key, val)
+
+ :param string key: i.e. ``"answer.total"``
+ :param number val: i.e. ``5``
+
+Set nominal value of given metric.
+
+.. function:: stats.list([prefix])
+
+ :param string prefix: optional metric prefix, i.e. ``"answer"`` shows only metrics beginning with "answer"
+
+Outputs collected metrics as a JSON dictionary.
+
+.. function:: stats.upstreams()
+
+Outputs a list of recent upstreams and their RTT. It is sorted by time and stored in a ring buffer of
+a fixed size. This means it's not aggregated and readable by multiple consumers, but also that
+you may lose entries if you don't read quickly enough. The default ring size is 512 entries, and may be overriden on compile time by ``-DUPSTREAMS_COUNT=X``.
+
+.. function:: stats.frequent()
+
+Outputs list of most frequent iterative queries as a JSON array. The queries are sampled probabilistically,
+and include subrequests. The list maximum size is 5000 entries, make diffs if you want to track it over time.
+
+.. function:: stats.clear_frequent()
+
+Clear the list of most frequent iterative queries.
+
+
+Built-in statistics
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Built-in counters keep track of number of queries and answers matching specific criteria.
