How do you monitor the usage of your package?
Warren Buckley
10/09/2024, 8:20 AMIf you think having access to the telemetry that Umbraco collects for our packages would be useful (Which I think it would be)
I suggest you comment on this issue to help raise awareness back at HQ
https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco.Marketplace.Issues/issues/78
If you don't care about the stats from Umbraco Telemetry, do you roll your own like Lee K for contentment, or use Application Insights or similar where a user has to opt in for telemetry data?

10/09/2024, 8:24 AMI think the actual numbers are not so interesting either, as noted in that thread. I'd look for a percentage trend month over month (think that's what NuGet can show too).
I would be much more interested in actual feature usage as Lee is tracking it in Contentment. But I guess that depends on the scope of your package.

* App Insights to see what events/things triggered and the RUM (Returning Users Monthly)
Or building something like Lee to help ?

10/09/2024, 10:46 AMI think feature usage becomes more interesting if you have a bigger package. I think it would be interesting for the smaller ones (dashboards, property editors etc) to be able to simply see the amount of users even just to validate their ideas

It would be nice if package devs could at least get some insights from the data that HQ collect.
