Track use of password encryption feature
Overview
With the shift of focus to feature/stage usage, we need to make sure we measure the adoption of new features. For Distribution, the recent feature to encrypt configuration passwords is a good candidate for tracking. There have been many requests for this feature and we have an iterative roadmap for rolling it out (&2548 and &4234). Understanding adoption will help us determine whether customer needs are being met and how many iterations are needed.
Proposal
- Collect usage data in the usage ping
- Add a chart in Sisense to track adoption
Solution
This is a research spike to investigate how we would add the password encryption feature to the usage ping. At the end of the research spike, we should have one or more issues outlining the work that is required.
I think we are required to notify users whenever a new metric is added to the usage ping. We'll need to learn about the notification procedure.
