+If you want to count the number of RPC calls per RPC method,
+set adapter in the configuration. The adapter needs to implement `increment/3`
+where the first argument is the key, the second is an integer and the third are optional keyword options you
+want to pass to your adapter on each increment call.
+
+```elixir
+config :ethereumex,
+  adapter: Datadog
+  adapter_options: []
+```
+An example of an adapter would be [Statix](https://github.com/lexmag/statix/blob/v1.2.1/lib/statix.ex#L288-L290).
+Adapter options could be `[sample_rate: 1.0, tags: ["foo", "bar"]]`.
+
 The IPC client type mode opens a pool of connection workers (default is 5 and 2, respectively). You can configure the pool size.
