1800: Analytics r=irevoire a=irevoire
Closes#1784
Implements [this spec](https://github.com/meilisearch/specifications/blob/update-analytics-specs/text/0034-telemetry-policies.md)
# Anonymous Analytics Policy
## 1. Functional Specification
### I. Summary
This specification describes an exhaustive list of anonymous metrics collected by the MeiliSearch binary. It also describes the tools we use for this collection and how we identify a Meilisearch instance.
### II. Motivation
At MeiliSearch, our vision is to provide an easy-to-use search solution that meets the essential needs of our users. At all times, we strive to understand our users better and meet their expectations in the best possible way.
Although we can gather needs and understand our users through several channels such as Github, Slack, surveys, interviews or roadmap votes, we realize that this is not enough to have a complete view of MeiliSearch usage and features adoption. By cross-referencing our product discovery phases with aggregated quantitative data, we want to make the product much better than what it is today. Our decision-making will be taken a step further to make a product that users love.
### III. Explanation
#### General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
The metrics collected are non-sensitive, non-personal and do not identify an individual or a group of individuals using MeiliSearch. The data collected is secured and anonymized. We do not collect any data from the values stored in the documents.
We, the MeiliSearch team, provide an email address so that users can request the removal of their data: privacy@meilisearch.com.<br>
Thanks to the unique identifier generated for their MeiliSearch installation (`Instance uuid` when launching MeiliSearch), we can remove the corresponding data from all the tools we describe below. Any questions regarding the management of the data collected can be sent to the email address as well.
#### Tools
##### Segment
The collected data is sent to [Segment](https://segment.com/). Segment is a platform for data collection and provides data management tools.
##### Amplitude
[Amplitude](https://amplitude.com/) is a tool for graphing and highlighting collected data. Segment feeds Amplitude so that we can build visualizations according to our needs.

# The `identify` call we send every hour:
## System Configuration `system`
This property allows us to gather essential information to better understand on which type of machine MeiliSearch is used. This allows us to better advise users on the machines to choose according to their data volume and their use-cases.
- [x] `system` => Never changes but still sent every hours
- [x] distribution | On which distribution MeiliSearch is launched, eg: Arch Linux
- [x] kernel_version | On which kernel version MeiliSearch is launched, eg: 5.14.10-arch1-1
- [x] cores | How many cores does the machine have, eg: 24
- [x] ram_size | Total capacity of the machine's ram. Expressed in `Kb`, eg: 33604210
- [x] disk_size | Total capacity of the biggest disk. Expressed in `Kb`, eg: 336042103
- [x] server_provider | Users can tell us on which provider MeiliSearch is hosted by filling the `MEILI_SERVER_PROVIDER` env var. This is also filled by our providers deploy scripts. e.g. GCP [cloud-config.yaml](56a7c2630c/scripts/providers/gcp/cloud-config.yaml (L33)), eg: gcp
## MeiliSearch Configuration
- [x] `context.app.version`: MeiliSearch version, eg: 0.23.0
- [x] `env`: `production` / `development`, eg: `production`
- [x] `has_snapshot`: Does the MeiliSearch instance has snapshot activated, eg: `true`
## MeiliSearch Statistics `stats`
- [x] `stats`

- [x] `total_failed`: The total number of failed search requests, eg: `24`
- [x] `total_received`: The total number of received search requests, eg: `3480`
- [x] `sort`
- [x] `with_geoPoint`: Does the built-in sort rule _geoPoint rule has been used?, eg: `true` /`false`
- [x] `avg_criteria_number`: The average number of sort criteria among all the requests containing the sort parameter. "sort": [] equals to 0 while not sending sort does not influence the average, eg: `2`
- [x] `filter`
- [x] `with_geoRadius`: Does the built-in filter rule _geoRadius has been used?, eg: `true` /`false`
