When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the mean time that
cells spend in circuit queues to disk every 24 hours. (Default: 0)
Relays only.
When this option is enabled, Tor collects statistics about cell
processing (i.e. mean time a cell is spending in a queue, mean
number of cells in a queue and mean number of processed cells per
circuit) and writes them into disk every 24 hours. Onion router
operators may use the statistics for performance monitoring.

[[DirReqStatistics]] **DirReqStatistics** **0**|**1**::

When this option is enabled, a Tor directory writes statistics on the
number and response time of network status requests to disk every 24

server is being used by clients to learn about Tor network.

directly connecting clients to disk every 24 hours. Enables relay
operators to monitor how much inbound traffic that originates from
Tor clients passes through their server to go further down the
Tor network. If ExtraInfoStatistics is enabled, it will be published
as part of extra-info document. (Default: 0)
[[ExitPortStatistics]] **ExitPortStatistics** **0**|**1**::
When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the number of relayed
bytes and opened stream per exit port to disk every 24 hours. (Default: 0)
Exit relays only.
When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the number of
relayed bytes and opened stream per exit port to disk every 24 hours.
Enables exit relay operators to measure and monitor amounts of traffic
that leaves Tor network through their exit node. If ExtraInfoStatistics
is enabled, it will be published as part of extra-info document.

[[ConnDirectionStatistics]] **ConnDirectionStatistics** **0**|**1**::
When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the bidirectional use
of connections to disk every 24 hours. (Default: 0)
Relays only.
When this option is enabled, Tor writes statistics on the amounts of
traffic it passes between itself and other relays to disk every 24
hours. Enables relay operators to monitor how much their relay is
being used as middle node in the circuit. If ExtraInfoStatistics is
enabled, it will be published as part of extra-info document.

[[HiddenServiceStatistics]] **HiddenServiceStatistics** **0**|**1**::
Relays only.
When this option is enabled, a Tor relay writes obfuscated
statistics on its role as hidden-service directory, introduction
point, or rendezvous point to disk every 24 hours. If
