Telemetry / Analytics

mirrord sends anonymous usage statistics to our systems. We don't store IP addresses, and a random key is used as an identifier for each user. In mirrord for Teams, a random key identifying the operator used is sent as well.

Data collected is session duration and what features were used (steal/mirror/fs mode, etc). This helps us to improve the product and by better understanding our users. Types of data sent:

Feature on/off
Feature enum value (steal/mirror, read/write)
Feature count (how many ports in listen_ports)

When there's an error, we send the name of the error (out of a hard-coded list, so there's no risk of any sensitive data being sent).

Disabling

Telemetry can be disabled by specifying the following in the mirrord config file:

json

{"telemetry": false}

Alternatively, in the wizard, it is disabled via command-line flag:

bash

mirrord wizard --telemetry=false
