Comment (by jelte):

 Hmm, I think this approach is slightly off. It's a step in the right
 direction, but I would suggest we *do* put the definition of statistics
 items in the same spec files, but under a different sublevel, e.g.:

 {{{
 { "module_spec": {
     "module_name": "my_own_module",
     "module_description": "foo",
     "config_data": [ <list of configurable options> ],
     "commands": [ <list of commands> ],
     "statistics": [ <list of collected statistics> ]
   }
 }

 This requires us to change the specfile parser, but it would be far less
 complicated for modules to collect statistics (and I suspect that we want
 more than one module to do so).

 I think we should also put the definitions of module-specific statistics
 in that module, and not in the specification for the stats-daemon;
 b10-stats should be agnostic about what specific data is collected, so
 that modules can define their own, so if we do decide to do the above, I'd
 suggest we move the specification for things like boot time to the boss
 spec file, and auth query counters to the auth spec file.
