Metrics
Metrics
To determine popularity of versions, features, and lingering usage, plugin installs are automatically tracked by the Metrics plugin tracking system
Ok, but what exactly is read/sent?
It is not possible for Metrics to control the plugin in any way except for plugin-specific code the plugin author implements. As mentioned before, nothing is downloaded, so what you get is what the plugin author implemented.
The following data is read from the server in some way or another:
- File Contents of plugins/bstats/config.yml (created if not existent)
- Players currently online (not max player count)
- Server version string (the same version string you see in /version)
- Plugin version of the metrics-supported plugin
- Mineshafter status - it does not properly propagate Metrics requests however it is a very simple check and does not read the filesystem
The following data is sent to https://bstats.org/:
- Metrics revision of the implementing class
- Server's GUID
- Players currently online (not max player count)
- Server version string (the same version string you see in /version)
- Plugin version of the metrics-supported plugin
- Operating system data, such as java version, core count...
- Any custom data the supporting plugin implements. This is variable and I am not responsible for this however usually it is just plugin-specific data (e.g for LWC, the database type: MySQL or SQLite, and Locale used (english, german, etc))
How to Disable
Edit the config, Your can Find it in: plugins/bstats/config.yml . And set enables to false.
