Question & idea regarding telemetry

[malice00]

I just upgraded our production instance to 4.13(.1) and was wondering about the telemetry that is now in DT:

• We have 2 instances running; 1 production and 1 testing/staging to make sure the newest update will still work for us. Would it make sense for you guys to add an extra field (possibly with pre-defined values, might make queries on your side easier than free text) with information like this about the instance? Imho it might give even more insight in when/where updates are installed...
• How/where is the 'system_id' saved? Is this in the database? As mentioned above, we have 2 instances running and we sometimes wipe the testing DB and import a copy from production. If the ID is in the database, this would then obviously send back 2 (possibly different) versions every day for the 'same' instance. If a field describing the instance (as mentioned above) would be added (possibly as a composite key with the system_id?), you would even have a relation between the 2 instances and have even more information regarding updating behavior! Of course, the value would (probably, depending on implementation/saving location) have to be changed after importing, but imho that would make more sense then allowing eg the system_id to be manually (re-)set.
