I need to find statistics on a running server.

[Ondřej Surý]

It's generally better to pull the server statistics via statistics channel via XML or JSON that can be directly parsed by many commonly available libraries and tools.

Stuff like total queries, total queries from ipv4 clients, total queries from ipv6 clients, total A/AAAA/CNAME/PTR/NXDOMAIN requests/answers.  With it stored every 2 minutes it's easy to chart out number per second, of course that's averaged out over the 2 minute window.
