Atlassian IDE Connectors : Collecting Usage Statistics for the Eclipse Connector
This page last changed on Aug 16, 2009 by smaddox.
If you indicate your agreement, the Atlassian Connector for Eclipse will collect information on the usage of the connector and send the information to Atlassian. On this page: Reasons for Collecting Usage DataWe are trying to better understand the usage of the connector, so that we can continue to develop a better product that meets your needs. Enabling or Disabling the Collection of InformationWe understand, of course, that some people do not wish to have any information collected from them. That's fine too. When you first open your IDE with the connector installed, we ask you to decide whether you agree to participate in the collection of usage data. You can also change your decision later via the configuration settings, as described below. The collection of data is disabled by default.
To set your usage data preferences,
Submitting the Usage Data ManuallyYou can choose to submit your usage data manually, rather than allowing automatic submission. There are two ways to start the Usage Data Submission wizard:
To submit usage data manually,
Information CollectedWe track general events in Eclipse, such as when you open a task, open a Bamboo build, open a Crucible review, get the Bamboo build details, get a FishEye resource link, get Bamboo build output, and so on. We store things like:
The information we collect is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you. Private information, such as task key and title, is obfuscated by default. If you choose not to obfuscate data, the information collected will include things like task key, task title, and in some cases a partial path name. Mechanism Used to Send InformationThe connector collects the information in a monitor-log.xml file, located in your Eclipse workspace directory as specified in your configuration settings (see above). The connector sends the data to Atlassian as a zipped XML file, periodically at the time interval specified in your configuration settings (see above). Another Way to Send FeedbackEven if you decide not to send usage data through to us, we would still appreciate any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may have via our JIRA issue tracker or our forums.
