Usage Statistics

Overview

Anonymous usage statistics are collected from Jenkins controllers that have not opted out from this. They help us identify trends in Jenkins use and configuration, like the popularity of plugins and average number of plugins installed on controllers.

Those usage statistics are encrypted on individual Jenkins controllers and sent to the Jenkins project infrastructure, where they are stored. Decryption and anonymization is done in one step using the Usage Log Decrypter to ensure no private data, like private-source plugin usage information, is published. Only members of the Jenkins governance board have the decryption key.

The data is then further transformed using various scripts and then published on https://stats.jenkins.io
