Usage Analytics

Hazelcast collects analytics data to learn about the usage of Hazelcast Management Center.

Usage analytics of Management Center are collected in two ways:

  • Management Center sends data to the Phone Home server at http://phonehome.hazelcast.com/pingMc 30 minutes after it is started and once every 24 hours after that.

  • The Pendo JavaScript library collects data from Management Center web pages to generate activity reports and to analyze the performance of the Management Center frontend. Pendo is included in all Management Center web pages. You can find information about Pendo’s privacy policy at www.pendo.io/legal/privacy-policy/
