Dear Community,
We would like to use Adobe Analytics to track usage & behavior in desktop applications (Java Desktop Tool, Visual Code plugins / Electron / Theia)
Some questions which came up:
- Is it a good idea to use Adobe Analytics to do this?
- If yes, are there any SDKs / references / documentation available?
PS: I found a related question in this community, however seems like the answer and the provided links are outdated.
Thank you in advance.
Yes it's a good idea. Actually I've seen implementations on set top boxes, smart TVs, etc.
If the applications have internet connection you can use data insertion API to collect data:
https://github.com/AdobeDocs/analytics-1.4-apis/blob/master/docs/data-insertion-api/index.md
If the applications only have access to your sever, you can send data server-to-server by using Bulk Data Insertion API.

One thing you need to decide is how to generate unique visitor IDs. Adobe Visitor ID service can be used but might be a bit over killing here if Analytics is the only solution involved. In that case, you can just use your own unique visitor ID(device ID, serial number, etc.)
