The Analytics page provides users with the ability to enable or disable various analytics settings within the Peer Software environment:
•Anonymous Diagnostic Data: This feature allows Peer Software to collect anonymized diagnostic data to aid in improving the performance, reliability, and features of PeerGFS. Information is sent to Peer Software and used exclusively for internal purposes.
•PeerIQ: PeerIQ provides extensive analytics capabilities, including real-time monitoring, performance metrics, and insights into the PeerGFS environment.
