This is the code repository for **Ubuntu Insights**, a transparent, user-friendly, open, platform-agnostic, and cross-application solution for reporting hardware information and other collected metrics.

Ubuntu Insights is designed to show you exactly what is being sent, and allow you to acknowledge and control your own data. The code in this repository is designed to mainly be invoked by a controlling application, but a command-line tool is also provided.

Ubuntu Insights is designed to be a full replacement for [Ubuntu Report](https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report) and its server components are backwards compatible.

## Components

Ubuntu Insights is divided into two components:

- The client for local actions which consists of a command-line interface, as well as Go and C APIs. It is also packaged as a deb package. See [insights](insights)
- The server services which is what we use to aggregate reports. See [server](server)
