The successful adoption and iterative improvement of Jenkins Essentials [0] is heavily contingent on a spectrum of automated feedback which I've been referring to as "telemetry" in many of the design documents. I wanted to start discussing the prospect of collecting anonymized Pipeline usage telemetry to help Jenkins Essentials, Blue Ocean, and Pipeline teams understand how users are actually using Jenkins Pipeline.
James Dumay has already prototyped some similar work[1] for collecting behavioral telemetry in Blue Ocean, but what I'm proposing would be much more broad in scope[2]. The metrics I am interested in, to help us understand how Pipeline is being used, are: * Counts: * configured Declarative Pipelines * configured Script Pipelines * Pipeline executions * distinct built-in step invocations (i.e. not counting Global Variable invocations) * Global Shared Pipelines configured * Folder-level Shared Pipelines configured * Agents used per-Pipeline * Post-directive breakdown (stable,unstable,changed,etc) * Timers * Runtime duration per step invocation * Runtime duration per Pipeline I believe this is a sufficiently useful set of metrics to send along, but the two questions I could use help answering are: * What are other metrics which would positively impact the development of Jenkins? * Are there concerns about implementation feasibility for any of these? I am planning on using statsd (sent to the project's Datadog account), so sampling and controlling the volume of individual metrics is not something I'm terribly worried about. Happy to hear any feedback y'all are willing to share!
