Telemetry settings in Kibana
editTelemetry settings in Kibana
editUsage 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 disable this feature either in Stack Management > Kibana > Advanced Settings > Global Settings > Usage collection or the config file with the following settings.
General telemetry settings
