Dries Peeters 905f6fbd37 feat(telemetry): migrate analytics pipeline from PostHog to OTLP

Switch product and installation telemetry to OTLP/Grafana across runtime config, CI injection, docs, and tests to unify telemetry transport and simplify privacy-focused opt-in behavior.

Analytics and Monitoring

TimeTracker provides privacy-aware analytics and monitoring with Grafana Cloud OTLP as the telemetry sink.

Overview

Structured JSON Logging - Application event logs in logs/app.jsonl
Sentry Integration - Error monitoring and tracing (optional)
Prometheus Metrics - Runtime metrics at /metrics
Grafana OTLP Telemetry - Installation + product analytics telemetry

Telemetry Model

Base telemetry (anonymous, default behavior)

Installation-level telemetry (base_telemetry.first_seen, base_telemetry.heartbeat)
Includes install UUID, app version, platform, OS, architecture, locale, timezone
No direct PII fields

Detailed analytics (explicit opt-in only)

Product events such as timer.started, project.created, auth.login
Sent only when admins enable detailed analytics in the app
PII-filtered before export

Configuration

# Grafana OTLP sink
GRAFANA_OTLP_ENDPOINT=https://otlp-gateway-.../otlp/v1/logs
GRAFANA_OTLP_TOKEN=your-token

# Detailed analytics consent switch (app-controlled per installation)
ENABLE_TELEMETRY=true

# Optional error monitoring
SENTRY_DSN=
SENTRY_TRACES_RATE=0.1

Troubleshooting

If no telemetry arrives, verify GRAFANA_OTLP_ENDPOINT and GRAFANA_OTLP_TOKEN
If detailed events are missing, confirm detailed analytics is enabled in admin settings
If only base events appear, consent is likely disabled (expected behavior)
