I started a document to keep track of what we've tracked so far: Pyroscope App Plugin Analytics
we should also consider after a certain amount of time with no usage of a feature should we consider to stop supporting that feature (once we have tracking enabled)

Implement Analytics Tracking for Backend and Frontend
Now that we have separated out the cloud vs the OSS code we can more easily add things to the code in order to understand user journeys and track usage
Objective
To establish a analytics tracking system to gain insights into:

Metrics app as an example
It is using the rudderstack library and manually adding tracking code throughout. Here's an example: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-adaptive-metrics-app/blob/88875984168a094983818fa1649bad342d4171ee/src/components/PageHeader/index.tsx#L368 Here is a brief overview doc of user tracking https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mORi9tmdCTSShtQoVg3d9mMANVQCrWYGE91aSjzNcEA/edit
