Detailed Description

The central object managing data sources and transmitting feedback to the server.

The defaults for this class are very defensive, so in order to make it actually operational and submit data, there is a number of settings you need to set in code, namely submission intervals, encouragement settings and adding data sources. The settings about what data to submit (telemetryMode) and how often to bother the user with surveys (surveyInterval) should not be set to hardcoded values in code, but left as choices to the user.
