Description

One of the major advantages to being a hosted service is that you could allow users to automatically report errors. For eg, if we had information on serialization errors and data size issues we could easily prioritize between these issues. Without this data we are making guesses often, and in some cases based on some user's reporting issues.

This could be a flag in the funcX global config, with a large banner at the setup letting users know that we recommend turning it on.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the global configuration system in globus compute, identify where config flags are defined and how they are accessed. Then design an opt in mechanism for error reporting, including a banner during setup. Implement the flag and integrate with an error reporting service.
