+/*! \addtogroup stats
+ *  @{
+ *
+ * This module implements periodic reporting of statistics / counters.
+ * It supports the notion of multiple \ref osmo_stats_reporter objects
+ * which independently of each other can report statistics at different
+ * configurable intervals to different destinations.
+ *
+ * In order to use this facility, you have to call \ref
+ * osmo_stats_init() once at application start-up and then create one or
+ * more \ref osmo_stats_reporter, either using the direct API functions
+ * or by using the optional VTY bindings:
+ *
+ * - reporting to any of the libosmocore log targets
+ *   \ref osmo_stats_reporter_create_log() creates a new stats_reporter
+ *   which reports to the libosmcoore \ref logging subsystem.
+ *
+ * - reporting to statsd (a front-end proxy for the Graphite/Carbon
+ *   metrics server
+ *   \ref osmo_stats_reporter_create_statsd() creates a new stats_reporter
+ *   which reports via UDP to statsd.
+ *
+ * You can either use the above API functions directly to create \ref
+ * osmo_stats_reporter instances, or you can use the VTY support
+ * contained in libosmovty.  See the "stats" configuration node
+ * installed by osmo_stats_vty_Add_cmds().
+ *
+ * An \ref osmo_stats_reporter reports statistics on all of the following
+ * libosmocore internal counter/statistics objects:
+ * - \ref osmo_counter
+ * - \ref rate_ctr
+ * - \ref osmo_stat_item
+ *
+ * You do not need to do anything in particular to expose a given
+ * counter or stat_item, they are all exported automatically via any
+ * \ref osmo_stats_reporter.  If you have multiple \ref
+ * osmo_stats_reporter, they will each report all counters/stat_items.
