# stats(7ctrlproxy)

Stats generation

## NAME

stats - Stats generation

## DESCRIPTION

This module keeps track of the number of times a certain expression is used and stores that data in a TDB-file. This TDB file can be read later with the **printstats** utility.

Expressions should be Perl-compatible regexes whenever pcre is found, normal regular expressions when only the POSIX regex functions are found. If no regex functionality was found, just 'plain' text should be specified.

## CONFIGURATION

The following XML elements are supported:

- tdbfile

  Location of TDB file to store statistics in. $HOME/.ctrlproxy-stats.tdb is used when none is specified.

- pattern

  Pattern to search for and keep track of.

  - type

    ## EXAMPLE

```
		<ctrlproxy>
			<plugin autoload="1" file="stats">
				<tdbfile>/home/jelmer/.ctrlproxy-stats.tdb</tdbfile>
				<pattern type="happy">[:;]([-]*)[\)D]</pattern>
				<pattern type="unhappy">[:;]([-]*)[\/\(]</pattern>
				<pattern type="foul">(shit|damn|fuck)</pattern>
