Office 365 – Distribution List Migration Version 2.0 – Part 23

Collecting telemetry for performance improvements and usage statistics.

Version 2.8.0 is now available for installation and provides telemetry submission on the performance of distribution list migrations. Two new switches have been added to the powershell module:

-allowTelemetryCollection

-allowDetailedTelemetryCollection

 

What data is included with -allowTelemetryCollection?

• CustomDimensions
  • AzureAD Powershell Module Version
  • DLConversionV2 command executed
  • DLConversionV2 Powershell Module Version
  • ExchangeOnline Powershell Module Version
  • Migration Start Time UTC
  • Migration End Time UTC
  • True / False errors encountered during the migration
  • OS Version executing the script

• CustomMetrics (Time recorded in seconds)
  • Migration elapsed time
  • Time pending DL removal in Office 365
  • Time to collect dependencies in Office 365
  • Time to collect dependencies on premises
  • Time to create the Office 365 DL and update attributes
  • Time to normalize all on premises dependencies
  • Time to validate and perform safety check on DL members
  • Time to replace on premises dependencies post migration
  • Time to replace Office 365 dependencies post migration

 

 

What data is included with -allowDetailedTelemetryCollection?

• CustomDimensions
  • Same items as standard telemetry.

 

• CustomMetrics
  • All items included in standard telemetry.
  • All recipient counts including members, number of users on attributes, and all counts of dependencies on premises and in Office 365.

 

 

Does the module collect any personally identifiable information?

The module does not collect any personally identifiable information, this includes hostnames and IP addresses. Azure App Analytics does collect the city, state, and country where the submission is made but no specific geo-location data is included beyond this information.

 

 

What will you do with this information?

The performance information will allow me to monitor the efficiency of the script. I hope to utilize the data to continue to create real world scenarios for my testing purposes. In general the count of usage will help drive further development efforts of the module.

 

Can I opt out of telemetry collection?

Absolutely! In default configuration telemetry collection is automatically enabled for each run. Should you desire to opt out of any form of telemetry collection please specify -allowTelemetryCollection:$FALSE in the command execution. If you desire to opt out of detailed telemetry collection but still provide basic information use -allowDetailedTelemetryCollection:$FALSE
