 ## What we collect ?
 We collect actions made on models (project, table, view, sharedView, user, hook, image, sharedBase etc) periodically with :
-- Unique machine ID (generated with node-machine-id)
-- Environment (dev, staging, production)
 - System information (OS, node version, docker or npm)
+- Environment (dev, staging, production)
+- Instance information (Unique machine ID, database type, count of projects and users)
 - Failures.
