I've started to collect the list for the counters we have. It would be nice to have an automatic way to generate those but not sure how and if we can do that.

Writing down the description will still be a manual task but at least the rest should be generated.

The goal would be to have a page like this:

At least the explanation what the value is (bytes, packets, something else) should be included as well as the description what the counter means (especially those not 100% obvious).

I grepped the code for the following parts to collect the available counters in the attached file:

• StatsRegisterCounter
• StatsRegisterGlobalCounter
• StatsRegisterAvgCounter

I also added one line to cover what the app_layer counter can look like, please correct me if I missed an option:

* app_layer.[flow/tx].(failed_)$APPLAYER(_udp|_tcp)

I also skipped the napatech ones since I couldn't test them.

We can also group some together to avoid a huge duplication of some parts.

So any information for missing counters or suggestions how to make this more error prune due to automation let me know.
