Reporting Use Cases

The Client plugin version field is the plugin counterpart to client_version, and carries the same diagnostic value.

  • Rollout and compliance: Find the users still running an outdated extension.

  • Explaining missing telemetry: Old plugin versions report fewer measures, and in some cases are excluded from provider metrics entirely.

  • Filter to the client breakdown: Like Client plugin, this only appears on CLIENT records. It is empty on every other breakdown, which is correct rather than missing data.
