Add container registry observations to usage ping
requested to merge 199193-track-total-number-of-instances-using-an-external-container-registry into master
What does this MR do?
Related to #199193 (closed). We want to determine how many self-managed instances are using the GitLab Container Registry (and which version) or a third-party one.
This MR adds new observations about the Container Registry to the Usage Ping payload. More precisely, it adds a new container_registry
entry with two attributes, vendor
and version
. Example:
"container_registry": {
"vendor": "gitlab",
"version": "2.9.1-gitlab"
}
The values for these attributes are sourced from the application_settings
table, through Gitlab::CurrentSettings
.
