Base telemetry

[valentimarco]

We need to collect same basic metrics about Cat usage.

Main idea:

• enable telemetry by default with the option to optout
• inform users that telemetry is active? when should this happen?

Possible main metrics:

• country, where in the world is the Cat being used?
• version, which versions are users on?
• unique id of installation, how many instanced of the Cat are roaming in the world?(A GUID generated on first run can serve as a unique ID, without requiring an actual unique identifier for each installation)
• configured LLM model, what is the most used LLM model? are users using local LLMs?

Additional metrics, in order of priority:

• max number of concurrent sessions, is the Cat used as a personal assistant or as a shared resource accessible to multiple users?
• admin portal usage, is the user accessing the chat through the admin portal or by other means?
• number of plugins installed, is Cat being used as a "simple" rag or for execute actions? (this is still a very draft idea...)

Related Discussion:

• Would it be useful to display some of these metrics within the admin portal?

I have started writing a server to receive and store telemetry data: https://github.com/leomanga/Telemetry-Server-for-cheshire
What type of database would be suitable for this purpose? Could MongoDB be okay?

Awesome thanks for sharing @leomanga!
Yep I guess mongo will do, as the data structure may change ;)

I've just implemented mongoDB in my repo. Are there any improvements I can make to the code?

@leomanga you can improve by:

1. Adding a docker compose
2. have a .env instead of variable.py for common variables
3. Idk if MongoClient support connection pool, but the MongoDB class must be declared one time as global or defined as Singleton class
