Metrics

With this release of BeardAch I have added Plugin Metrics, a service provided by Hidendra (author of LWC and all around cool person) for plugin authors to collect anonymous statistics on their plugins.

Since you trust me by running this plugin on your server, it is only fair that I tell you what information is tracked.

• Geo-Located country (Part of Plugin Metrics base data it collects)
• Number of custom triggers installed (both bundled and addons)
• Number of custom rewards installed (both bundled and addons)
• if you have BeardStat installed
• Total number of achievements you have defined
• number of each type of trigger used by achievements
• number of each type of reward used by achievements
• Which storage system you are using (type only, no login details)

My reasons for wanting these metrics are so that I have a better idea of how BeardAch is being used. That way I can build a better plugin. I can track the popularity of triggers and rewards, letting me plan changes accordingly.

Should you wish to opt out of this, head to the config file and set the following option like so:
general:
plugin-stats-opt-out: true

This will switch off metrics for BeardAch. BeardAch obeys Plugin Metrics global config (located in plugins/PluginMetrics/config.yml).
