tiup telemetry
Starting from v1.11.3, the telemetry is disabled by default in newly deployed TiUP, and usage information is not collected and shared with PingCAP. In versions earlier than v1.11.3, the telemetry is enabled by default in TiUP, and usage information is collected and shared with PingCAP to improve the product.
When TiUP telemetry is enabled, usage information is shared with PingCAP when TiUP commands are executed, including (but not limited to):
- Randomly generated telemetry identifiers.
- The execution status of the TiUP command, such as whether the command execution is successful and the duration of command execution.
- Situations using TiUP for deployment, such as target machine hardware information, component version number, and modified deployment configuration name.
The information below is not shared:
- The accurate name of the cluster
- The cluster topology
- The cluster configuration file
TiUP uses the tiup telemetry command to control telemetry.
