Add plugin usage data to usage ping
Problem to solve
To better understand how our users are leveraging our plugin system, we need to add this usage data to the usage ping so that we can identify installations currently using the feature, and track it's overall usage over time.
Goal
- By being able to identify customers using this feature, it allows us to reach out and learn more about how they're using this very versatile feature
- By tracking the overall usage of this feature, it allows us to understand our need to prioritize the development/expansion of functionality here
Proposal
We should add a new entry in the usage ping data inside the counts dictionary that represents the number of plugins found inside the /gitlab/plugins/ directory:
"counts": {
...
"plugins": 0,
...
}Resources
