Telemetry

Patcher uses sentry.io for application performance monitoring and error tracking. This data helps us catch bugs quickly and improve Patcher.

Anonymous UUID​

When you first run Patcher, we generate an anonymous UUID for that Patcher install.

This UUID is stored in ~/.patcher/config.json and the same UUID will be sent each time you run Patcher.

Example config.json file:

// NOTE: Changing this file requires a restart of Patcher.
{
    // Unique id used for correlating telemetry sent from this instance.
    // Do not edit this value.
    "telemetry-reporter-id": "a8884e6a-da99-43e3-86d0-f92a3605d731"
}

Opting Out​

You can opt out of sending telemetry data by setting the PATCHER_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT environment variable to true.

export PATCHER_TELEMETRY_OPT_OUT=true
