Telemetry implementation

Telemetry commands

Challenges

Asking users to comply with analytics on first usage

https://developers.redhat.com/article/tool-data-collection

Preventing counting internal usage

• Prevening help/completion commands to send data
• Preventing non TTY sessions
• Adding env var along with config for internal team do disable telemetry.

Preventing sending usage for meta commands

__completion, help etc. should not send analytics

I'm interested in your feedback about how we sent telemetry, enable telemetry itself and also segment integration.
You should have access to dev segment account etc.

Reviewed a bit and verified from CLI side. Tomorrow I will look at the analytics dashboard.

ODO and other commands have config comand that allow to change config. I think if you want to turn it off you should set env variable

To verify you would need to build production version (non dev) or.. use environment variable.
I'm working on connecting this with production.

I think initially we can release this feature enabled only in dev mode and after legal enables us to collect details we can switch to all users.
