Collecting Usage Statistics for the IntelliJ Connector

If you indicate your agreement, the Atlassian Connector for IntelliJ IDEA will collect information on the usage of the connector and send the information to Atlassian.

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 statistics. You can also change your decision later via the configuration settings, as described below. The collection of statistics is disabled by default.

Information Collected

The connector will collect the following information:

• Number of JIRA servers you have set up with your connector.
• Number of Bamboo servers you have set up with your connector.
• Number of Crucible servers you have set up with your connector.
• Number of JIRA issues you have opened since the last update ping. An issue is 'opened' if a user views the issue in IntelliJ IDEA i.e. when a new issue tab opens within the 'Issues – JIRA' tool window. If you open a particular issue, close the tab and then open the same issue again, this counts as two opened issues.
• Number of Bamboo builds you have opened since the last update ping. Opened builds are counted in the same way as opened issues, described above.
• Number of Crucible reviews you have opened since the last update ping. Opened reviews are counted in the same way as opened issues, described above.
• Number of JIRA issues that have been made active in the active bar since the last update ping.

All the information we collect is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you. We do not collect any private information. We use a randomly generated unique ID to differentiate one installation from another.

Mechanism Used to Send Information

The connector collects the information and sends it to Atlassian as a simple HTTP request. The URL parameters are:

?uid=123&version=2.1&bambooServers=3&crucibleServers=1&jiraServers=2&i=2&r=3&b=4&a=5

Reasons for Collecting Usage Statistics

We 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 Information

We understand, of course, that some people do not wish to have any information collected from them. That's fine too.

You can choose to enable or disable the collection of information at any time. In IDEA, go to 'IDE Settings' -> 'Atlassian Connector', click the 'General' tab and tick or untick the 'Report anonymous usage statistics' checkbox.

We would still appreciate any feedback, comments, or suggestions you may have via our JIRA issue tracker or our forums.
