what is this statistics business?
kimono (since version 0.3.0b) collects anonymous statistics 5 minutes after the daemon starts up and every 12 hours after that. this is meant to help me find out how kimono is used, on what platforms and software versions etc. the "anonymous" part in anonymous statistics means that no information is ever sent that could in any way identify you or the computer/network you run kimono on (see below for a list of what's sent).
what is really sent and where?
the data is sent to this webserver (downshift.org) and inserted into a mysql database. no one but
me (Daniel Netz) has access to the database and the data will never be made available to anyone else
other than in the form of statistics (in which individual data is never available). you can check out
the receiving script here.
these are the variables that are sent:
- a 12 character random id string to separate your installation from others
- kimono version
- php version
- operating system
- mysql version
- number of organisations, groups, hosts, services and users in kimono
- last daemon uptime in seconds
- random_id => FaBP4jjFA4uN
- mysql_version => 4.0.18
- num_organisations => 1
- num_groups => 4
- num_hosts => 15
- num_services => 28
- num_users => 2
- daemon_uptime => 5216
- kimono_version => 0.3.0b
- php_version => 5.0.0RC3
- php_uname => Linux
how can I turn this off? I don't want to participate
even though I encourage everyone to keep the anonymous statistics enabled for the benefit of the project, it is of course possible to turn it off. the configuration variable main::allow_anonymous_statistics can be set to False, thus disabling anonymous statistics.
where can I see the accumulated statistics?
