Description

Glide Version: 4.0

Integration libraries: OkHttp3

Issue details / Repro steps / Use case background: One neat feature of Picasso is that it has a cache snapshots + statistics API that allows you to gather and report statistics however you want. It would be great to get some similar information from Glide (so I guess this is part question, possibly feature request). Looking for some suggestions/guidance on how this could be done today.

Some references:

Some good use cases of this are for signal in crash reporting, general production stats, debugging (such as showing in a debug drawer, like the u2020 app demonstrates), performance tracking, etc.

Research direction
Investigate Glide's existing caching classes (e.g., MemoryCache, DiskCache) to understand where statistics could be injected. Reference Picasso's Stats.java and StatsSnapshot.java for design patterns. Check comments in issue #2235 for any maintainer guidance or rejected approaches. The goal is to propose a non invasive API for collecting cache hit/miss rates, request counts, and memory usage.
