Usage Ping is a method for GitLab Inc to collect usage data on a GitLab instance. Usage Ping is primarily composed of row counts for different tables in the instance’s database. By comparing these counts month over month (or week over week), we can get a rough sense for how an instance is using the different features within the product. This high-level data is used to help our product, support, and sales teams.

### Database counts
- How many Projects have been created by unique users
- How many users logged in the past 28 day
- Number of Projects created by unique users
- Number of users logged in the past 28 day
Database counts are row counts for different tables in an instance’s database. These are SQL count queries which have been filtered, grouped, or aggregated which provide high level usage data. The full list of available tables can be found in [structure.sql](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/db/structure.sql)

### Pageview events
- How many sessions visited the /dashboard/groups page
- Number of sessions that visited the /dashboard/groups page
### UI Events
- How many sessions clicked on a button or link
- How many sessions closed a modal
- Number of sessions that clicked on a button or link
- Number of sessions that closed a modal
UI events are any interface-driven actions from the browser including click data.
### CRUD or API events
- How many Git pushes were made
- How many GraphQL queries were made
- How many requests were made to a Rails action or controller.
- Number of Git pushes
- Number of GraphQL queries
- Number of requests to a Rails action or controller
These are backend events that include the creation, read, update, deletion of records, and other events that might be triggered from layers other than those available in the interface.
### Event funnels
- How many sessions performed action A, B, then C
- What is our conversion rate from step A to B?
- Number of sessions that performed action A, B, then C
- Conversion rate from step A to B
### PostgreSQL data
These are raw database records which can be explored using business intelligence tools like Sisense. The full list of available tables can be found in [structure.sql](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/db/structure.sql)
