What does fly settings analytics do?

What does the fly settings analytics do? Is it just collecting usage analytics for flyctl?

yep, flyctl sends some telemetry back to Fly in the form of “things are succeeding / failing”

You can code-search the GitHub - superfly/flyctl: Command line tools for fly.io services repo for things that look like:

ctx, span := tracing.GetTracer().Start(ctx, "do_some_thing")

to see where it’s used
