feat: add telemetry to companion #1117

SgtPooki · 2022-12-16T20:35:01Z

Things implemented:

View tracking of companion pages
Session tracking (powering down the extension ends your session and stops tracking sessions)
consent management: disabling telemetry (opting-out) prevents the above two things from happening, but we do send an event indicating that you've opted-out

Things to do

Add metrics tracking notice to IPFS Companion #1114
Fix CI failures
Need to discuss with @BigLep and @tinytb w.r.t. their discussion on 2023-01-05 whether Add metrics tracking notice to IPFS Companion #1114 needs to be a pre-req for merging this

SgtPooki · 2022-12-17T03:05:10Z

@juliaxbow I would love your opinion on the formatting of the telemetry section

juliaxbow · 2022-12-17T04:12:58Z

Descriptions

Telemetry section In the description, would say "To assist in our efforts, please consent to the collection of these metrics by toggling "on" in the corresponding section. You can change this setting at any time by navigating back to the Companion Preferences page." It's a little unusual to offer consent via a toggle but I think it's ok?
Is the toggle default to on? If so, we should change the wording even further. Something like "IPFS Companion is collecting minimal telemetry data to improve and prioritize our work. You may opt out of the collection of these metrics by toggling "off" in the corresponding section below. You can change this setting ......"
Metrics Section the metric collection description, I would change wording to "Sends ‘session’ and ‘view’ events only when ipfs-companion is enabled and your browser is not idle." Current wording raises the question of who is sending this information where?
The section header "minimal metrics: ..." makes it seem like there are additional, more intrusive metrics somewhere. Until we have other metrics we're tracking I think we can just call it "Session & Companion views." The Telemetry description already points to the fact that these are minimal.

Other

"Read More" links on the page have a link-out icon, so would add that in. (in the screenshot below i have the same link blue because I think all link-out icons should look like links but keep consistent with the rest of the page for now ;) )
The toggle is centered but it doesn't look like it is. Until we have more sections & metrics that we're tracking, I would move it up to be top-aligned with the first sentence in the description. I know this is inconsistent with all other toggles on the page but to me it's more clear what the user is agreeing to. This is subjective, though, so feel free to ignore.

Incl screenshot to show the suggested toggle alignment

LGTM in principle, a few nits, I need to validate this locally though.

This needs to be mapped correctly, this breaks the build.

This should be working properly with latest release of ignite-metrics

lidel

Looks sensible, as long we address below:

We should not be sending requests to Countly every minute a user uses a browser.
(I assume that is what is happening? I was unable to build this and test locally)
- This causes many issues, for example drains laptop battery by waking up WIFI when no internet conneciton would be needed otherwise.
- As discussed, figure a way to batch things so we report them only once an hour or once a day.
Regular people don't know what 'session' and 'view' means.
- See my suggestions below on humanizing the language :)

FYI @lidel @whizzzkid I had some changes locally that weren't pushed up... getting those up now

* Telemetry messages are passed between contexts using browser.runtime * Upgraded to @ipfs-shipyard/ignite-metrics@1.3.0 * Updated consent handling from state to be more explicit

for now this should be ok, in the future we might wanna have a message being broadcast and such listeners can subscribe to those.

Thanks for adding tsconfig.json and we can fix this when we have a better handle of things.

whizzzkid · 2023-01-27T21:00:28Z

@lidel I think the default flush interval is good enough for now, we can revisit this later if needed.

figure a way to batch things so we report them only once an hour or once a day.

for now I think we can merge this and release as is.

SgtPooki · 2023-01-27T21:02:14Z

Agreed with @whizzzkid. Metrics are only sent (currently) when interacting with the extension (enabling/disabling, viewing different pages), so battery use should not be a concern.
