Configuration of event data communication in computer networks

A method for controlling reporting of event data for an application via a computer network, the method comprising:

• under control of a hardware processor:
• determining first event processing rules for a first electronic device and second event processing rules for a second electronic device, the first event processing rules being different from the second event processing rules and configured to control reporting of first event data associated with first actions of a first application running on the first electronic device, the second event processing rules being configured to control reporting of second event data associated with second actions of a second application running on the second electronic device;
• generating a first message for indicating the first event processing rules to the first electronic device and a second message for indicating the second event processing rules to the second electronic device;
• transmitting, via a computer network, the first message to the first electronic device and the second message to the second electronic device so that the first electronic device implements the first event processing rules for reporting the first event data and the second electronic device implements the second event processing rules for reporting the second event data;
• receiving a third message from the first electronic device indicating one or more exclusions from reporting of the first event data;
• determining from the one or more exclusions to revise the first event processing rules to obtain revised first event processing rules;
• generating a fourth message for indicating the revised first event processing rules to the first electronic device;
• and
• transmitting, via the computer network, the third message to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device implements the revised first event processing rules.

Non-transitory physical computer storage comprising computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to implement a process comprising:

• determining first event processing rules for a first electronic device and second event processing rules for a second electronic device, the first event processing rules being different from the second event processing rules and configured to control reporting of first event data associated with first actions of a first application running on the first electronic device, the second event processing rules being configured to control reporting of second event data associated with second actions of a second application running on the second electronic device;
• generating a first message for indicating the first event processing rules to the first electronic device and a second message for indicating the second event processing rules to the second electronic device;
• transmitting, via a computer network, the first message to the first electronic device and the second message to the second electronic device so that the first electronic device implements the first event processing rules for reporting the first event data and the second electronic device implements the second event processing rules for reporting the second event data;
• comparing a first batching of events by the first electronic device due to an optimized collection and a second batching of events by the first electronic device due to an offline communication status of the first electronic device;
• responsive to said comparing, revise the first event processing rules to obtain revised first event processing rules;
• generating a third message for indicating the revised first event processing rules to the first electronic device;
• and
• transmitting, via the computer network, the third message to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device implements the revised first event processing rules.
