Usage Metrics

Synopsys Detect uses Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage metrics. 

Usage metrics collection

A mechanism called phone home is used to collect metrics. Synopsys uses this data to help set engineering priorities.

In a network where access to outside servers is limited, this mechanism may fail, and those failures may be visible in the log. This is a harmless failure; Synopsys Detect will continue to function normally.

To disable this mechanism for Synopsys Detect runs executed from one environment, set the environment variable SYNOPSYS_SKIP_PHONE_HOME to true. To disable this mechanism for all Synopsys Detect runs against a specific Black Duck server, refer to the Black Duck documentation for information about disabling analytics.
