A method () and apparatus () collect and upload implicit analytic data. The method can include storing () dependency rules corresponding explicit events to implicit events. The method can include collecting () and storing () implicit event data corresponding to implicit events. The method can include receiving () an explicit event at the device. The method can include evaluating () dependency rules corresponding to the explicit event. The method can include identifying () a relevant subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules. The method can include uploading () the relevant subset of the implicit event data and explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event.

Method and apparatus that collect and uploads implicit analytic data

A method and apparatus collect and upload implicit analytic data. The method can include storing dependency rules corresponding explicit events to implicit events. The method can include collecting and storing implicit event data corresponding to implicit events. The method can include receiving an explicit event at the device. The method can include evaluating dependency rules corresponding to the explicit event. The method can include identifying a relevant subset of implicit event data corresponding to the explicit event based on evaluating the dependency rules. The method can include uploading the relevant subset of the implicit event data and explicit event data corresponding to the explicit event.

A method includes storing data received at a first server to a first file and storing data received at a second server to a second file, where the data in the two files are substantially similar. The two files are distinct, independent files. The first server provides a copy of the first file to the second server to store. The first server then stores additional data to the first file, while the second server maintains the copy of the first file unchanged. The second server may also provide a copy of the second file to the first server to store and continues to store additional data to the second file, while maintaining the copy of the second file on the first server unchanged. Event reports may then be generated using the various files, which provide high availability due to the above method and corresponding system arrangement.
