Share data in the Splunk ODBC Driver

When the Splunk ODBC driver is deployed on your Splunk platform deployment, the Splunk software sends de-identified usage data to Splunk Inc. ("Splunk") to help improve Splunk ODBC Driver in future releases. For information about how the data is collected, stored, and governed, see Share data in Splunk Enterprise.

What data is collected

The Splunk ODBC Driver collects two kinds of data: Splunk ODBC Driver telemetry and usage telemetry specific to the Splunk ODBC Driver.

Splunk ODBC Driver Hosted Environment telemetry

Splunk ODBC Driver may collect telemetry about the Splunk ODBC Driver Hosted Environment, including data like:

• De-identified user interactions with features in the application's user interface.
• Latency and other performance statistics for operations and user actions.

App usage information

Splunk ODBC Driver collects the following usage information about the app, including tracking adoption and engagement metrics, such as number of users, deployments, usage frequency and volume of data consumed thru business intelligence tools.
