nickviljoen 8bc1256e82 Add usage tracking reports, profile versioning, and token tracking
Implements three major feature enhancements:

1. Usage Tracking Reports
   - Command-line tool (generate_usage_report.py) for comprehensive usage reports
   - Supports text, JSON, and CSV output formats
   - Filters by date range, client, and user
   - Aggregates statistics by client, user, profile, and date
   - Automated report generation via cron jobs

2. Profile Auto-Versioning & Visibility Control

Implementation Summary - Usage Reports & Profile Management Enhancements

Overview

Two major features have been successfully implemented:

  1. Usage Tracking Report System - Generate comprehensive usage and cost reports
  2. Profile Auto-Versioning & Visibility Control - Automatic version control and client-specific profile management

1. Usage Tracking Report System

What Was Implemented

A command-line tool (generate_usage_report.py) that reads usage logs and generates comprehensive reports in multiple formats.

Key Features

  • Multiple Report Formats: Text, JSON, and CSV outputs
  • Flexible Date Filtering: Last N days, specific date ranges
  • Client Filtering: Reports for specific clients or all clients
  • Comprehensive Statistics:
    • Summary (total analyses, checks, costs)
    • By Client (usage per client with top profiles)
    • By User (individual user statistics)
    • By Profile (profile usage across clients)
    • By Date (daily breakdown)
  • Cost Estimation: Automatic cost calculation based on LLM usage

Quick Start Examples

# Navigate to backend directory
cd backend

# Generate report for last 7 days
python generate_usage_report.py --last-days 7

# Generate monthly report and save to file
python generate_usage_report.py --last-days 30 --output monthly_report.txt

# Generate CSV for Excel
python generate_usage_report.py --last-days 30 --format csv --output report.csv

# Filter by specific client
python generate_usage_report.py --client diageo --last-days 30

Available Options

  • --last-days N - Report for last N days
  • --start-date YYYY-MM-DD - Start date for date range
  • --end-date YYYY-MM-DD - End date for date range
  • --client CLIENT_ID - Filter by client (diageo, unilever, loreal, general)
  • --format FORMAT - Output format (text, json, csv)
  • --output FILENAME - Save to file instead of printing to console

Documentation

  • Detailed Guide: backend/USAGE_REPORTS.md
  • Quick Start: backend/NEW_FEATURES_QUICKSTART.md (Section 1)

2. Profile Auto-Versioning & Visibility Control

What Was Implemented

A. Automatic Profile Versioning

When a profile is edited, the system automatically:

  • Creates a new version file (e.g., profile_v2.json, profile_v3.json)
  • Keeps the original profile unchanged
  • Updates client configurations to use the new version
  • Adds metadata (version number, timestamps, user who made changes)

Before Edit: my_profile.json (v1) After Edit: my_profile.json (v1 - unchanged) + my_profile_v2.json (v2 - new) After Second Edit: v1, v2 (unchanged) + my_profile_v3.json (v3 - new)

B. Profile Visibility Control

Profiles can now be configured with two visibility modes:

  1. All Clients (Default)

    • Profile visible to all clients in the system
    • Used for general-purpose profiles
  2. Client-Specific

    • Profile visible only to selected clients
    • Used for brand-specific or confidential profiles

Profile JSON Structure (Enhanced)

{
  "name": "Profile Name",
  "description": "Profile description",
  "version": 1,
  "visibility": "all",  // or "client_specific"
  "visible_to_clients": [],  // e.g., ["diageo", "unilever"]
  "created_at": "2026-02-02T10:00:00",
  "created_by": "user@company.com",
  "modified_at": "2026-02-02T15:30:00",  // if edited
  "modified_by": "admin@company.com",    // if edited
  "previous_version": "profile_name",    // if edited
  "pass_threshold": 85,
  "checks": { ... }
}

API Changes

Create Profile (Enhanced)

POST /api/profiles
{
  "name": "My Profile",
  "description": "Profile description",
  "visibility": "client_specific",
  "visible_to_clients": ["diageo", "unilever"],
  "checks": { ... }
}

Response:

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Profile \"My Profile\" created successfully",
  "profile_id": "my_profile",
  "visibility": "client_specific"
}

Update Profile (Auto-Versioning)

PUT /api/profiles/my_profile
{
  "name": "My Profile - Updated",
  "checks": { ... }
}

Response:

{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "Profile updated to version 2. Original kept as \"my_profile\"",
  "profile_id": "my_profile_v2",
  "previous_profile_id": "my_profile",
  "version": 2
}

Web UI Integration

Creating Profiles

  1. Fill in profile details
  2. Visibility Control:
    • ☑️ Check "Reveal to All Clients" → visible to all
    • ☐ Uncheck and select specific clients → limited visibility
  3. Save

Editing Profiles

  1. Edit profile settings
  2. Save
  3. System automatically creates new version
  4. Success message: "Profile updated to version 2. Original kept as 'profile_name'"

Support & Troubleshooting

Usage Reports

Issue: No data found

  • Check backend/usage_logs/ directory exists and has .jsonl files
  • Verify date range includes days with actual usage
  • Check client filter matches existing client IDs

Issue: Permission errors

  • Ensure read access: chmod +r backend/usage_logs/*.jsonl
  • Check write access if using --output

Profile Versioning

Issue: Profile not creating new version

  • Check that actual changes were made (not just re-saving)
  • Review server logs for errors
  • Verify file permissions on profiles directory

Issue: Client config not updating

  • Check write permissions on backend/client_config.py
  • Review server logs for update errors
  • Manually inspect client_config.py for changes

General

  • Documentation: All features documented in detail
  • Logs: Check Flask server logs for errors
  • Testing: Test in development environment first
  • Rollback: All changes are backward compatible

Summary
