How much data is to be expected to be sent over my dataplan on
monthly basis? When using Fedora Workstations as a graphics
workstation (including regular office applications) during office
hours and extensive internet research and entertainment during
(late)evenings and weekends, should I expect this to generate data of
some 10's of KB, or should I expect it to amount to megabytes?
Hi, how much data gets sent would depend on how many metrics we decide
to collect. I don't have any estimate, but my guess is "very little."
The good news is NetworkManager already knows how to detect a metered
connection (and there is an override switch in gnome-control-center if
the automatic detection fails). So if it turns out to be a problem,
then we can disable most of the data collection when on a metered
connection.
Will this be uploaded on scheduled daily interval or more regularly?
To be determined!
Can I monitor the traffic on my firewall (and how)?
All the data would be sent to a single host operated by Fedora. But it
does not actually exist yet.
