[Idea] Installation count #72

Closed kendaleiv closed 8 years ago

A count of the number of installs.

Perhaps this could be accomplished using Google Analytics or similar by adding the necessary information to the azuredeploy.json and making the tracking call in the ARMController Deploy action (if that works / makes sense).

Thoughts? Does this seem reasonable, or would it be more appropriate for the deployed application to handle this concern?

@kendaleiv we have telemetry on "deploy.azure.com" using Azure Insights to count total number of deployment.

Are you suggesting feature to allow end user to track their own deployment? In this case it is better to do it on your application level, since "slingshot" is a stateless service, it doesn`t have the knowledge to map a specific deployment to a specific user/application.

My thought was for a this many users have installed this project using the badge feature.

It sounds like this might be best accomplished inside the actual application, if desired.

Thanks for the reply!
