Proposal: Basic Telemetry for PSSA

PSScript Analyzer Proposed Telemetry

Goal

To better understand how PSSA is being used both within PSES and in isolation in order to make informed investments in PSSA 2.0.

Questions

• What versions of PowerShell are being used with PSSA? What versions of PowerShell should we continue to support?
• What tasks are PSSA currently being used to accomplish?
  • To what extent is PSSA being used inside vs. outside of PSES? Which of these experiences is most important to optimize?
  • To what extent are custom rules vs. built in rules being used?
  • What is the proportional use of PSSA as a formatter vs "analyzer"?
• To what extent are the compatibility rules being used? Which platforms are being targeted the most?
• What rules are being turned off? What rules should we strip out?
• Which rules are causing the largest performance delays?

Proposed Metrics

• Version of PowerShell
• Inside vs Outside of PSES
• CI usage/environment type
• Time for each rule to complete
• Count of:
  • Known formatter type rules
  • Known analyzer type rules (tally for each one)
  • Custom rules (not on our known list)
  • Known compatibility profiles (tally for each one)
  • Use of a configuration

El issue no menciona archivos, pruebas ni puntos de entrada. Comienza convirtiendo las preguntas enumeradas y las métricas propuestas en un diseño de telemetría para PSSA que cubra el uso dentro y fuera de PSES. La tarea estará terminada cuando exista un alcance acordado y un plan de implementación para recopilar las métricas propuestas.
