Overview

The Analytics Manager (AnalyticsMgr) controls data collection on Zebra devices running Android. Data is organized and collected according to feature groups and individual metrics within those groups. The AnalyticsMgr controls which data metrics are collected, how often and under what conditions, and whether collected data is stored on the device or in the Zebra Cloud.

Use of the Analytics Manager indicates acceptance of the Zebra End User License Agreement.

Central to Zebra Analytics is the Analytics Engine, which collects information about the operation and health of a device and its battery, radios and other components. Such data can be used to detect devices in need of maintenance, are vulnerable to a security threat, or require other attention or preventative action to maintain optimal performance and avoid failures.

Main Functionality

  • Enable/disable data collection by the Analytics Engine
  • Enable/disable ability of device user or app to change data collection setting

Analytics Data Collection

This is the On/Off switch for the Zebra Data Analytics Engine, which allows the Data Collection Agent to collect data about events on the device and submit data to the Zebra Cloud for processing and analysis.
