Can analytics in Sourcetree Enterprise be disabled?

Gregg Deuchar

My company does not want program analytics being sent out to external companies. Currently, each user can choose whether to "Help improve Sourcetree by sending data about your usage". I'd need to disable this globally, ideally through a config file, Registry key or GPO.

If none of those options are possible, there are 8 DLLs with "analytics" in their name in the Sourcetree folder, but don't know if I can safely remove any of them to accomplish my goal.

Is it possible to disable analytics?

Hi

Don't remove the dlls, although Sourcetree is quite well componentized that will stop Sourcetree starting at all.

That analytics submission is controlled via the AnalyticsHasAgreed setting in the user.config.

You can either force this to false in the sourcetree.exe.config of the install before the first run, or after it has run atleast once by setting it in the %localappdata%/Atlassian/Sourcetree.exe_url_{hash}/{version}/user.config file
