Plugin usage statistics

Hi!
I want to take anonymous usage statistics from users who use my plugin.

For instance I want to take:
- Feedback about errors;
- Feedback about general plugin usage

Obviously this would happen only for users that give the consent

My question is:

Can I do this or there are problems with JetBrains T&C?

Thank you,
Lorenzo

There is already a facility to report errors. You can implement the error reporter in your plugin

For example:

<errorHandler implementation="com.sylvanaar.idea.errorreporting.YouTrackBugReporter"/>

I can't answer about usage statistics. I never read anything about any restrictions. Though, that is probably because noone has really abused the priveledge to make it an issue.

Hi Jon,
thank you for your answer and for the suggestion.:)

Meanwhile I've not found anything against on the JB T&C.
