Telemetry

Server Telemetry

The WildRank server, as of version 2, automatically reports some basic telemetry to the "primary" WildRank instance located at wildrank.app. This data is only reported on server startup and is limited to the following pieces of information:

• host IP address
• internal server port

This information helps give us a better idea of how other teams host the application. It is stored indefinitely on our server.

Disabling Telemetry

Telemetry can be disabled on server startup by changing the REPORT variable near the top of the server source to False. Technically, according to the MPL, this is a modification and requires publishing of the server source code under the same terms, however, we will wave it for that specific change.

Public Telemetry

The /about page of the server displays basic information about the server. Some of this information is essential to application functionality, other information is there for debugging purposes. It includes the following:

• POST server compatibility
• server (file) created time
• instance started time
• telemetry enabled status
• server host IP address
• internal server port
• latest Git hash
• current PWA version
