Persisted Usage Metrics

[mcowger]

Do you have any thoughts or preferences around an option to persist the usage metrics across restarts?

I have the server set to auto update daily, which means I lose the statistics.

I'm willing to write the PR (would probably just persist the data as JSON).

We don't have a plan to persist the data.

But if you need to persist it, maybe you can request the management api and save it locally.

curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer <MANAGEMENT_KEY>' http://localhost:8317/v0/management/usage

I get that. I'm asking if you are open to a PR that would add that capability?

Sorry, the usage metrics are stored in memory, so you need to clean it up periodically.

If we persisted it, it would use too much memory.

Actually, a lot of users told us that they want to persist the usage metrics too, but we want to keep the project lightweight and fast.

So, you can use the management api to get all the usage data and do it yourself.

Understood. Thanks!
