Telemetry and network data insights

Share

The information below details on what type of data (telemetry) is sent and received by the MouseMux program and what other network data is transferred:

  • MouseMux will try to see if there are updates by contacting the mousemux update server - it will download a JSON file containing update information and may start doing updates by downloading individual packages.

  • MouseMux will send crash dumps (.dmp) and log files once it detected a crash has occurred.

  • MouseMux will send telemetry data to a matomo database and a countly database, the data being sent has an ID which is generated by hashing the computer name combined with a hash of the username. This final hash (a number) is used to identify the computer on which MouseMux is running. During runtime it will collect the following information:
