Summary
WARNING
Legacy versions only
As of version 7.1.x of Automation for Jira, anonymous usage stats are no longer sent. The information on this page only applies to earlier versions of Automation for Jira.
To improve Automation for Jira in Server and Data Center instances, anonymous usage statistics of automation rule usage from your Jira instance are regularly collected. The main purpose for these statistics is to help with generating accurate test data for performance testing. This information is also used to help prioritize which features to work on next (e.g. which rule actions are used the most). Information about your general Jira usage (e.g. number of issues) is not collected.
Solution
What is collected and when?
Statistics are collected on a weekly basis on weekends (to minimize any impact on your Jira instance) and any statistics are completely anonymized. A unique, secure hash is generated to identify your instance (based on your instance's URL and server ID), which cannot be reverse engineered to tie the statistics back to your Jira instance.
Statistics collected are about:
Version & licensing information
Rule counts configured
Rule components used in each rule.
Rules executed in a week
Rule details, such as detailed rule configurations that could be used to identify your data, are not collected.
Here's an example of what is collected from a typical server instance:
