  • Dynamic collection analysis and reporting of telemetry data
    Patent number: 9590880
    Abstract: Technologies are generally described for collecting, analyzing and reporting telemetry data. A telemetry engine is built into a client application installed on a client device, and the telemetry engine is configured to collect and analyze application data at the client device and report the analyzed data to a service provider associated with the application. The telemetry application includes a specialized set of components, such as a telemetry transport component configured to communicate with the service provider, a data collection module configured to retrieve data from the application, and a rule manager and analyzer configured to analyze collected data according to a set of data collection rules provided by the service provider. The telemetry engine enables collection and analysis of telemetry data from multiple distributed client devices. The client devices dynamically change over time to ensure that current and important information is reported to the service provider.
