Megha Dey of Intel just submitted a 4-part patch to LUV, adding telemetrics. Below is slightly-edited comments from patch, some build instructions omitted. For full text see email, URL at end.
[Luv] [PATCH V1 0/4] Introduce telemetrics feature in LUV
This patchset consists of all the patches needed to enable the telemetrics feature in LUV. LUV brings together multiple separate upstream test suites into a cohesive and easy-to-use product and validates UEFI firmware at critical levels of the software stack. It may be possible that one of the test suites crashes while running. It may be even possible that a kernel panic is observed. Under these scenarios, it would be useful for LUV to call home and submit forensic data to analyze and address the problem. The telemetrics feature will do just this. Of course, this will be an opt-in feature(command line argument telemetrics.opt-in) and users will get clear indication that data is being collected. We have used the telemetrics-client code developed by the clear-linux team and tried to incorporate it in LUV. It has support for crashprobe (invoked whenever a core dump is created), oopsprobe(invoked when there is a kernel oops observed) and pstore-probe(invoked when there is a kernel panic and system reboots). In any of these scenarios, telemetrics records will be sent to the server, currently residing at(one used by clear linux):
http://rnesius-tmdev.jf.intel.com/telemetryui/
The build ID 122122 can be used to filter the LUV telemetrics records which can be further analysed. In due course, we will have to implement a server of our own to handle this. For telemetrics to work in LUV, the following changes were needed:
1. Migrate to SystemD: LUV currently uses the SystemV init manager but since telemetrics-client repo and the latest yocto have updated on to SystemD, LUV also needs to migrate to SystemD. Since Systemd will not work with the existing psplash graphical manager, we have disabled the splash screen
2. Migrate to Plymouth: LUV currently uses the psplash graphical manager, but since SystemD is compatible with only Plymouth graphical manager, we have migrated to Plymouth. PLEASE NOTE: Before migrating to plymouth, we have to merge the morty branch of the meta-oe layer provided by open embedded into the LUV repo and add the meta-oe layer to the build/conf/bblayers.conf file. Here are the steps to do this: <omitted> The loglevel has been set to 0 else there are lots of kernel messages overwriting the plymouth screen. Hence, details about the individual tests in the testsuites will not appear when the splash screen is set to false when using plymouth. If the user wants the test details to be shown, they would have to remove the ‘quiet’ and ‘loglevel=0’ kernel command line parameters.
3. Enable networking: After shifting to systemD, the LUV image is not being assigned an IP on boot. This is because it is still using a systemV startup script to do the same. Since systemD names its interfaces differently, we could not see any interfaces with a valid IP. This patch adds the networkd package, introduces a network config file which starts dhcp by default for all interfaces whose names start with en(pci devices which get renamed by udev) or eth(backward compatible) and a service file (networking.service) which will bring up the network and make sure an IP is assigned during boot. It refers:

4. Enable telemetrics in LUV: A yocto recipe which fetches the clear-linux telemetrics-client repo, builds it and installs all the necessary service files, daemons and probes has been added. Also, Add a kernel line parameter which lets the user opt-in to the telemetrics feature (telemetrics.opt-in). By default, this feature is disabled. Currently, the telemetrics records can be found here: http://rnesius-tmdev.jf.intel.com/telemetryui/
