Extend service ping to more relevant product analytics feature screens
Release notes
Problem to solve
We need visibility into how Product Analytics is being used so that we can better understand our user base. Building on the initial MAU tracking done in the Alpha release we want to ensure we are tracking new features and more areas of the product.
Proposal
Add Snow Plow AND Product Analytics instrumentation to be able to gather Monthly Active User (MAU) values for key workflows in Product Analytics.
At a minimum, instrumentation should include:
- Number of unique users that have visited one or more individual dashboards
- Number of unique users that have visited the instrumentation directions screen - This issue
- Number of unique users that have visited the cluster configuration screen - This issue
- Number of unique users that have visited the Dashboard listing page - This issue
When the features are available, instrumentation should also be added for:
- Number of unique users that have visited the Dashboard Designer page / created a dashboard - Add user event tracking for Dashboard Designer (#420827 - closed)
- Visualization Designer tracking - Add user tracking for visualization designer (#420826 - closed)
- Number of unique users that have saved a dashboard (created or edited) - done
