Wizards should already be there as long as SY and Fuse depend on the 
usage plugin.

For editors you will need to send specific events.

Please be aware to not send a ping for every little thing - we don't 
want to overload with data.

But for example if you want to count the number of times the fuse editor 
is opened you can do that with a daily event counter.

To find examples - search for .countEvent() in JBoss Tools Server and I 
think Forge has some too.
