About anonymous data collection (BMC AMI Ops telemetry)
During BMC AMI Ops User Interface installation, your IT administrator might have enabled the anonymous data collection services.
If so, after you sign in to BMC AMI Ops User Interface for the first time, if data collection is enabled, the following message is displayed:
InformationNote: Your IT administrator has enabled the collection of anonymous usage data for your organization. You can manage your individual preferences here.
To control the anonymous data collection for your sign-in credentials on the specific browser, click the link in the message or go to User name > User Preferences.
The User Preference option is specific to the user. If you disable it, it is disabled only for you. For administrators who want to modify the data collection (telemetry) settings for the whole system. see the To change the telemetry data tracking options section in the Customizing-after-installation.
To stop data collection for performance and product improvement, disable the Enable data collection for performance and product improvement option.
To stop data collection for marketing, disable the Enable data collection for marketing and outreach option.

We are continuously looking for ways to improve our products. Telemetry data or the anonymous data that we collect helps us understand:
- How our products are used
- How users navigate from one page to another in the BMC AMI Ops User Interface
- What features are used most and how
We use this information to enhance the ease of use and add more value to features as part of our ongoing product improvement efforts.
Telemetry data sheds light on how users interact with our products when using BMC AMI Ops User Interface. Telemetry data consists of small pieces of data about standard end-user activity (for example, opening the Dashboard page, a specific view, or using buttons or filters on a page.
Telemetry data also indicates:
- Number of users for a product per customer
- Time of first and last interaction with the BMC AMI Ops User Interface
- Number of visits to a page
- City and country of the user
Telemetry data is collected from the browser tab that is running BMC AMI Ops User Interface and sent to a server where data is processed and aggregated to display it in a structured format.
Telemetry data is accessible to authorized BMC personnel only.
Administrators and users can turn off the telemetry data at any time if they don't want to share their data.
WarningImportant
We do not collect identifying information about the users such as names, emails, and user IDs, so BMC cannot identify specific users or individuals. The anonymous data or telemetry data is relevant only to user actions inside BMC AMI Ops User Interface. We do not monitor any other user activity in other browser tabs or windows.
Telemetry data consists of information about user interactions with the following pages, menu options, and buttons:
