* By default, GATK generates a run report that is uploaded to a cloud-based service. This report contains basic
* non-identifying statistics (which tool was used, whether the run was successful etc.) that help us for debugging
* and development. You can use this option to turn off reporting if your run environment is not connected to the
* internet or if your data is subject to stringent confidentiality clauses (e.g. clinical patient data).
* To do so you will need to request a key using the online request form on our website.
* statistics about the run (which tool was used, whether the run was successful etc.) that help us for debugging
* and development. Up to version 3.2-2 the run report contains a record of the username and hostname associated
* with the run, but it does **NOT** contain any information that could be used to identify patient data.
* Nevertheless, if your data is subject to stringent confidentiality clauses (no outside communication) or if your
* run environment is not connected to the internet, you can disable the reporting system by seeting this option to
* "NO_ET". You will also need to request a key using the online request form on our website (se FAQs).
