The tor network works based on a centralized (well, in theory, federated) trusted directory service. (More info in https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git?a=blob_plain;hb=HEAD;f=dir-spec.txt). Much of data that is not related to relay related is just generated by probes, e.g. semi-trusted bandwidth authorities that measure node performance back to the directory authorities. More info on their monitoring work is available here: https://metrics.torproject.org/tools.html
