Only anonymous data is being collected by Red Hat plugins leveraging 'Red Hat Telemetry' facilities. The IP address of telemetry requests is not even stored on Red Hat servers.
Telemetry requests may contain:
- a random anonymous user id (UUID v4), that is stored locally in
~/.redhat/anonymousId
- the client name (IntelliJ IDEA), its version and the java runtime that runs it
- the name and version of the plugin that sends the event (eg.
Tekton Pipelines by Red Hat
) - the OS name and version
- the user locale (eg. en-US)*
- the user timezone
- the country id (as determined by the current timezone)
Common events are reported:
- when the plugin is started
- when the plugin is shut down
- duration of the session
