# Kibana Usage Collection Service
The Usage Collection Service defines a set of APIs for other plugins to report the usage of their features. At the same time, it provides necessary the APIs for other services (i.e.: telemetry, monitoring, ...) to consume that usage data.
IMPORTANT: Usage collection and telemetry applies to internal Elastic Kibana developers only.
## How to report my plugin's usage?
The way to report the usage of any feature depends on whether the actions to track occur in the UI, or the usage depends on any server-side data. For that reason, the set of APIs exposed in the `public` and `server` contexts are different.
