FileWave Server Analytics Reporting

With FileWave 13.1, server utilization aggregated analytics are sent to FileWave automatically to collect information on Licensing/Version of FileWave, Location Information (of the server), Numbers and Types of enrolled devices, Server Configuration information, and information on the Types and number of Filesets. This information is being gathered in an effort to help FileWave prioritize our future feature development and to better support our customers' working environments.

Here are some frequently asked questions about this Analytics collection:

Q. Is there any personally identifiable information being collected?
A. No, there is no personal information of any kind gathered

Q. How frequently does the server report this information?
A. The server reports the information only once per day, or on server restart.

Q. How big is the data transfer?
A. The data transfer is very small as it is primarily summary information and will be 1k (JSON) and under.

Q. What address and port are used for communication?
A. FileWave Analytics reporting travels outbound on port 443 to logstash.filewave.com.

Q. Can I see an example of the data and data definitions?
A. Yes, please see below:
