This PR enhances the telemetry collection capabilities by including operating system identification. It introduces new metadata fields to capture the OS name and version, ensuring that the toolkit can better understand the environment in which it is executed across different platforms.

Changes:

  • OS Telemetry Support: Added functionality to collect and report the operating system name and version as part of the telemetry data.
  • Cross-Platform Implementation: Implemented platform-specific logic to retrieve OS versions for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Test Coverage: Added comprehensive unit tests to verify OS detection logic and the parsing of system release files.

KINDLY NOTE THAT TELEMETRY DATA IS NOT BEING COLLECTED YET.

Code Review

This pull request adds OS name and version collection to the telemetry system, implementing platform-specific logic for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Feedback focuses on ensuring telemetry is non-intrusive by using debug logs instead of error logs for missing system information and improving the robustness of the Linux version parsing to handle different quote types.

Code Review

This pull request introduces the collection of operating system name and version metadata into the telemetry system. It adds platform-specific logic for Linux (parsing /etc/os-release), macOS (using sw_vers), and Windows (using the ver command), along with corresponding unit tests. Feedback focuses on making telemetry collection non-intrusive by using debug-level logging instead of error-level logging for metadata retrieval failures, improving the efficiency of the Linux version parser by breaking loops early, and ensuring consistent return values for unknown OS versions.

Code Review

This pull request adds the collection of operating system name and version to the telemetry collector. It implements platform-specific logic for Linux (parsing /etc/os-release), macOS (using sw_vers), and Windows (using ver), and includes comprehensive unit tests for these new features. Feedback was provided regarding the Linux version parsing logic, suggesting that the scanner should continue through the file even after finding a 'PRETTY_NAME' to ensure 'VERSION_ID' is also captured as a fallback.

As the code includes calls to external utilities like sw_vers or ver, it is better to have a timeout. While these are usually fast, telemetry should never hang the main process if a system utility becomes unresponsive.
