Platform usage metrics

[sanjayankur31]

Do we have some way of getting usage metrics from OSBv1 (and later from OSBv2)? It'll be good to see:

• logins
• simulation runs
• new users
• new projects

over some period, perhaps weekly, to get some idea of how the community is using the platform. This information will come in handy with outreach and dissemination also.

I was looking at a simple analytics platform. Matomo (formerly piwik) seems good, and while one can pay for their hosted version, they also have a docker image that we can self host for free:

https://github.com/matomo-org/docker

For OSBv1, there's a redmine plugin that works with piwik that looks simple to include: https://github.com/paginagmbh/redmine-google-analytics-plugin

For OSBv2, though, it'll have to be looked into.

(Until then, I'm going to fetch the redmine logs and do some rudimentary processing there so we get some basic usage metrics.)
