Build analytics

The Quarkus team has limited knowledge, from Maven download numbers, of the remarkable growth of Quarkus and the number of users reporting issues/concerns. Still, we need more insight into the platforms, operating system, Java combinations, and build tools our users employ. The build analytics tool aims to provide us with this information.

How it works

Collection happens only at build-time and not at runtime. Collection occurs during usage of Quarkus build tooling (Maven, Gradle). Your built application does not contain any data collection code.

All data collected is anonymous. There is no way to link this data back to an individual or organization. The intent is to learn about general patterns and trends; therefore, only anonymous data is needed.

Collection is disabled by default You will be asked if you want to opt in to data collection the first time you use dev mode. The console will wait for a few seconds for your input.

This is the data being collected

Anonymous application name. SHA-256 hash of the Group Id + Artifact Id.
Anonymous application version. SHA-256 hash of the Artifact Id + Version.
Anonymous user id. During the 1st build, this is generated locally at random, and subsequently reused.
Quarkus version
Java version
GraalVM version
Operating system details: OS name, OS version and architecture
Build system details, such as Maven, Gradle, and so on.
If a CI system was detected
Country and timezone
Extensions enabled. Only extensions whose groupIds start with io.quarkus, io.quarkiverse or are included in the quarkus platform are collected.

And here is an example of the data payload being sent:

Where are the config files?

Analytics configurations are stored at the .redhat folder in the user’s home directory:

anonymousId is the locally generated anonymous user id.

io.quarkus.analytics.localconfig holds if the user has agreed to send analytics data or not.

io.quarkus.analytics.remoteconfig cache of the remote configuration that allows to disable analytics globally.

Show me the code!

The bulk of the code is implemented in the analytics-common module. Data is sent using calls to io.quarkus.analytics.AnalyticsService.sendAnalytics(…) from the Maven and Gradle plugins.

The uploaded events are stored under the project’s /target folder with the name build-analytics-event.json.

How to disable analytics?

Build time analytics is not active by default.

If you have opted in and would like to disable build time analytics, you can do so in two ways:

Globally, by editing the io.quarkus.analytics.localconfig file in the '.redhat' folder of your user’s home directory. Update the file as follows:

{"disabled":true}

Per project, by using the system property quarkus.analytics.disabled=true when building the project.

Example using maven

mvn clean install -Dquarkus.analytics.disabled=true
