By default, Usage Collection (also known as Telemetry) is enabled. This
|
|
helps us learn about the {kib} features that our users are most interested in, so we
|
|
can focus our efforts on making them even better.
|
|
|
|
You can control whether this data is sent from the {kib} servers, or if it should be sent
|
|
from the user's browser, in case a firewall is blocking the connections from the server. Additionally, you can decide to completely disable this feature either in the config file or in {kib} via *Management > Kibana > Advanced Settings > Usage Data*.

==== General telemetry settings

|
|===
|
|
| `telemetry.enabled`
|
|
| Set to `true` to send cluster statistics to Elastic. Reporting your
|
|
cluster statistics helps us improve your user experience. Your data is never
|
|
shared with anyone. Set to `false` to disable statistics reporting from any
|
|
browser connected to the {kib} instance. Defaults to `true`.
|
|
|
|
| `telemetry.sendUsageFrom`
|
|
| Set to `'server'` to report the cluster statistics from the {kib} server.
|
|
If the server fails to connect to our endpoint at https://telemetry.elastic.co/, it assumes
|
|
it is behind a firewall and falls back to `'browser'` to send it from users' browsers
|
|
when they are navigating through {kib}. Defaults to `'server'`.
|
|
|
|
| `telemetry.optIn`
|
|
| Set to `true` to automatically opt into reporting cluster statistics. You can also opt out through
|
|
*Advanced Settings* in {kib}. Defaults to `true`.
|
|
|
|
| `telemetry.allowChangingOptInStatus`
|
|
| Set to `true` to allow overwriting the `telemetry.optIn` setting via the {kib} UI. Defaults to `true`. +

[NOTE]
|
|
============
|
|
When `false`, `telemetry.optIn` must be `true`. To disable telemetry and not allow users to change that parameter, use `telemetry.enabled`.
