Usage data is collected from the logs of various web services
that the Jalview Desktop contacts through its normal operation.
These are described below:
-
- - HTTP logs on the Jalview website
We
- record IP addresses of machines which access the web site, either
- via the browser when downloading the application, or when the
- Jalview Desktop user interface is launched.
-
- - The Jalview Getdown Launcher (Since 2.11.0) examines release
- channels every time Jalview launches to determine if a new
- release is available.
- - The questionnaire web service at
- www.jalview.org/cgi-bin/questionnaire.pl is checked and a
- unique cookie for the current questionnaire is stored in the
- Jalview properties file.
- - The Jalview web services stack is contacted to
- retrieve the currently available web services. All
- interactions with the public Jalview web services are
- logged, but we delete all job data (input data and results)
- after about two weeks.
-
- - Google Analytics
Since Jalview 2.4.0b2,
- the Jalview Desktop records usage data with Google Analytics via
- the JGoogleAnalytics
- class.
The Google Analytics logs for Jalview version 2.4
- only record the fact that the application was started, but in the
- future, we will use this mechanism to improve the Desktop user
- interface, by tracking which parts of the user interface are being
- used most often.

Since Jalview 2.11.2.7, the

+ .
Usage logs for Jalview record the fact that the
+ application was started, and details about the OS, installed Jalview
+ launcher (if any) and java version used. In the future, we will use
+ this mechanism to improve the Desktop user interface, by tracking
+ which parts of the user interface are being used most often.
