 `operator` roles include it, `dns-editor` doesn't. Statistics show client
 addresses and what they look up, so grant it with care.
 
+## Exploring
+
+The counters and top lists say how much, not who asked for what: "100
+NXDOMAIN answers in the external view" can't tell you which clients asked.
+For that, jarld also keeps every answer for a while, the **query log**: time,
+client, view, name, record type, result, and the blocklist (or your rules)
+that blocked it. It is in the statistics database, from the response log
+named writes anyway, and answers older than `retention.queries` (default
+7 days) are deleted every hour; `0` keeps none.
+
+With it, every client, name, view, record type, result and blocklist on the
+Statistics page is a link to the **explore** page (`#/stats/explore`),
+which shows, for what you clicked:
+
+* the answers over time (and how many were blocked);
+* the top clients, names, views, record types, results and blocklists
+  among them, each a link that narrows the filter further;
+* the latest 100 answers, every cell a link.
+
+So "external, NXDOMAIN" leads to the clients asking, a client to everything
+it asks, one of its names to who else asks for it. Filters combine (this
+client, in this view, blocked only) and each has a ✕ to take it out. A name
+can be widened to the names below it (`domain=`). The Statistics page's
+view switches apply here too.
+
+`anonymize_clients` and `exclude_clients` apply to the query log as to
+everything else. Its size: each answer takes about 150 to 200 bytes with
+its indexes, so 50,000 answers a day for 7 days is about 60 MB, 200,000 a
+day about 250 MB. The dashboard's Storage panel shows the databases' size
+and how many answers the query log holds.
