 It is configured via global variables in the App::Statsbot package.
+These variables are initialized from environment variables with names
+of the form STATSBOT_DEBUG, STATSBOT_TICK, etc. In the case of array

+list. Each configuration variable has a default value used when it is
+not set explicitly or via the environment.
