Added definition for monthly active group

Jeremy Watson (ex-GitLab) requested to merge mag-definition-operating-metrics into master

See slide 5 of https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1gttW8PQ5EJd5Pws3X7L8vxuNxYoSwNVh111MzlEC1sc/edit#slide=id.g44fdafb4a8_0_912 for context

Why are we using events for MAG and audit_events for MAU? Because they track different things, and it would be incorrect to use audit_events for groups.

Why is audit_events wrong for groups?

  • Group-level audit_events does not track important signals of activity for a group like pushing code to a group project - it only tracks when a change is directly made to the group itself (like creation, editing the name, removal, etc).

Why is audit_events right for users?

It records login activity. events does not. We could use events, and it would be a more conservative/lower definition.

To illustrate, here's the difference.
