Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed for identifying telemetry data. A particular method scans a file and compares the file to at least one attribute to be used for telemetry collection. When the file is identified as a telemetry candidate, an offer to submit a sample of the file is sent to a server. A response to the offer is received from the server. If the response to the offer indicates an acceptance, a sample of the file is sent to the server.
