Background

The version check data is not being collected.

Proposed solution

Add telemetry of the version check calls. This can be done by add a background call to curl -sL http://version.gridlabd.us/index.html&$(gridlabd.bin --version=name) to report the version number and possibly return a message if there's a newer version available. The AWS S3 bucket can log these calls and we can use this to count usage.

Alternatives

Add an API call to a telemetry tools on AWS.

Additional context

This is intended to answer the CEC question of how many users are running GridLAB-D.
