Usage analytics

From the dashboard’s token view you can:
  • Measure adoption:
    • Increasing token usage over time usually indicates more developers or services are relying on OpenBug for debugging.
  • Identify heavy users or teams (when keys are scoped):
    • If you assign different keys to different teams or environments, comparing their usage curves helps you see who is getting the most value.
  • Monitor incident-driven usage:
    • Spikes can correlate with production incidents or major deploys; this helps you understand when OpenBug is most critical to your workflow.

Improving how you use OpenBug

You can use dashboard analytics to tune how you run OpenBug:
  • If most tokens are spent in production keys, consider:
    • Tightening code_available / logs_available where appropriate.
    • Moving some exploratory debugging to staging or dev.
  • If usage is low for a team that should be using OpenBug heavily:
    • Re-share quickstart and common workflow docs.
    • Confirm that openbug.yaml and API_KEY are correctly configured in that environment.
Together, Monitoring and Analytics give you a simple way to see how OpenBug is being used across keys and environments, without exposing sensitive application data in the dashboard itself.
