ASL3 Usage Server

Server collector of anonymous AllStarLink usage data.

• A UUID Version 4 random unique ID
• Asterisk and app_rpt version information
• List of nodes on the server
• Registration type of each node (HTTP or IAX2)
• Channel type of each node
• Asterisk uptime and reload time
• OS Platform information
• Architecture type
• List of installed packages related to ASL3 (allmon3, asl3*, dahdi*)

Updating the daily_event

How to update the daily_event should modification be needed.

The daily_usage event is included in the full schema but having it separate eases workflow and insures history is not lost when/if the event is updated.

To update the daily_usage event edit this file and do `mariadb aslusage < add_daily_event.sql

Be sure to update the full schema with mysqldump --no-data alsusage > aslusage.sql if any changes are made to the daily_usage event.
