Queries	What is the unique ID of this statistic? What are its units? What is its default scaling factor? What is its default start value? What is its default increment? What is its default decrement?
Commands	Create a new statistic by specifying its units, scaling factor, default start value, default increment and default decrement.
Constraints	Unique ID must be unique across all statistics on a node. All static properties must be specified at, and cannot be changed after, construction time.
