Telemetry settings in Kibana

edit

Usage Collection (also known as Telemetry) is enabled by default. This allows us to learn what our users are most interested in, so we can improve our products and services.

Refer to our Privacy Statement to learn more.

You can control whether this data is sent from the Kibana 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 Kibana via Management > Kibana > Advanced Settings > Usage Data.

General telemetry settings

edit

telemetry.enabled: Set to true to send cluster statistics to Elastic. Reporting your cluster statistics helps us improve your user experience. Set to false to disable statistics reporting from any browser connected to the Kibana instance. Defaults to true.
telemetry.sendUsageFrom: Set to 'server' to report the cluster statistics from the Kibana 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 Kibana. Defaults to 'server'.
telemetry.optIn: Set to false to stop sending any telemetry data to Elastic. Reporting your cluster statistics helps us improve your user experience. Default: true.
telemetry.allowChangingOptInStatus: Set to false to disallow overwriting the telemetry.optIn setting via the Advanced Settings in Kibana. Default: true.

When false, telemetry.optIn must be true. To disable telemetry and not allow users to change that parameter, use telemetry.enabled.
