2.3.7 + stats

[Matt Bryant]

Is there any additional documentation/information around the new stats 
module.

Have added some metrics just to see what they produce

##
## Metrics
###

metric imap {
     event_name = imap_command_finished
     #source_location = example.c:123

     #categories =

     fields = name args running_usecs bytes_in bytes_out

     #filter {
     #    field_key = wildcard
     #}
}

metric sql {
     event_name = sql_query_finished
}

metric auth {
     event_name = auth_request_finished
     fields = user transport error successful
}

and get the following


[root at stargate dovecot]# doveadm stats dump
metric_name    field    count    sum    min    max    avg median

the main wiki page on stats/events doesnt really hold much detail whats 
stores for each event the above fields dont make much sense

and top no longer works out of the box

[root at stargate dovecot]# doveadm stats top

usage: doveadm [-Dv] [-f <formatter>] stats <command> [<args>]
   dump         [-s <stats socket path>] [-r] [-f <fields>]


has is been removed ? do you need to specify something additional now ???
