Track usage of Visual Review Tools

Problem to solve

We cannot measure that we have met the outcomes we wanted with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ee/issues/10761 when we added the ability to make comments on the merge request associated with a Review App directly from within the review app.

Proposal

This issue should add statistics around this feature's usage. Specific things we will be interested in is:

  • How many times has the Review App has been opened
  • How many times has a comment been pushed back to an MR

Other considerations

  • We are going to try to use snowplow for this but have no experience with using that platform yet
  • Another issue in this milestone gitlab-#29067 is removing authentication for the visual review tools so we cannot guarantee we would have unique userids opening / commenting on a visual review tool

Items previously discussed but not tracking at this time

  • Users that include the Visual Review Tool code in their app
  • Unique users that add at least 1 discussion item from Visual Review Tool

@erushton @jhampton can you weigh in on which of these could be tracked today?
