Agreed. Frederik, could you help with creating the required repos?
I can create the repos. How do you imagine importing the existing code,
assuming that's the idea?
Should this be a clone of the existing stuff or fresh repos where we start
with a review of the existing code bases?
Connected Creator plugin: qt-cresator/plugin-connectedcreator
I'd suggest: qt-creator/plugin-telemetry
Telemetry library: playground/telemetry
If this is supposed to become an official Qt library at some point, it should
probably be something like qttelemetry, but starting in playground would means
it needs moving and renaming eventually in any case. The closer we can get to
the final location, the better.
Cheers,
Frederik
Thanks,
Lars

Hi,
There were no objection to this, request. However, perhaps due to the
summertime the repos were not created.
Let’s make those now and move this code under the Qt project.
Yours,

Subject: [Qt-creator] Requesting repos for Connected Creator plugin and
telemetry library
Hi all,
In March this year, I requested a repo for an open source telemetry plugin
for Qt Creator. Now, the plugin has been implemented and I’d like to
request two repos: · A repo for a Connected Creator plugin
· A playground repo for a telemetry library
Description: The Qt Company wants to collect usage data from Qt development
tools. For that purpose, we have developed a general-purpose telemetry
library and a Qt Creator -specific plugin, using the telemetry library. The
reason to collect the data from our users is to learn, how developers use
Qt Creator and other tools, how usage patterns change, how quickly new
features and versions are started to be used, which tools are mostly used?
This information is one data source, helping us to make decisions, how to
further develop our products. In the short run, we believe we will get
valuable information, how to improve the user experience of our products.
The connected creator plugin implements the frontend for tracking the data
from different data sources in Qt Creator. The frontend consists of a
simple UI to enable/disable the plugin, to set logs expiration period, and
to view the data to be transmitted or previously transmitted data (logs).
Currently, the plugin tracks Qt Quick Designer usage only: launch count and
usage time. General platform data is collected by the telemetry library.
This data currently includes compiler details, locale, OpenGL type and
version, Qt version, screen details, Qt Creator version, license type
(evaluation, commercial, no license), and unique id (generated with QUuid).
All collected data is anonymous. No personal data such as project names,
project locations and paths, IP or MAC addresses, email addresses or Qt
Account details are collected.
The data is stored in the backend server, owned by The Qt Company. The
backend is complexly separated from the telemetry frontend and the code
will be provided in The Qt Company
private repo: https://github.com/TheQtCompany/qt-telemetry-backend.
The collected data is cached into a settings file before the transmission.
This allows the user to check, what data is going to be transmitted and
even disable the plugin before any data is actually transmitted. In
addition, data caching allows calculating key values in the frontend
instead of sending each user event to the server separately. This reduces
the network traffic significantly. By default, the cached data is
transmitted to the server once per week. It is possible to log the
transmitted data into the files to verify all the data transmitted to the
server.
The plugin is planned to be completely opt-in. The online installer will ask
the user, if he/she wants to install the plugin. There is no default
selection for the installation, but user must explicitly choose either to
install or not install the plugin. If the user decides to install the
plugin, it can be disabled in Qt Creator settings. The user is able to see
the cached data and before the first transmission, the user can disable the
plugin, even though it has been installed.
