The plugin is used in Qt Creator and Qt Design Studio to send telemetry data. It is based on Qt Insight Tracker
The plugin needs to be built against a Qt Creator version, and the matching Qt installation.
This happens by setting CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the Qt and Qt Creator build directories.
Qt must include the Qt Insight Tracker module.
To configure the backend you need to set the server credentials:
QTC_INSIGHT_URL: Qt Insight server URL to your project
QTC_INSIGHT_TOKEN: Authentication token
If QTC_INSIGHT_URL and QTC_INSIGHT_TOKEN are not set, no data will be send.
The cache path for collected data until sent is stored in the local user settings:
QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::CacheLocation) + "/insight"
Windows: C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\QtProject\QtCreator\insight\
Linux: $HOME/.cache/QtProject/QtCreator/insight/
macOS: $HOME/Library/Caches/QtProject/QtCreator/insight/
