Telemetry Overview

Telemetry Guide

Introduction

Devtron collects anonymous telemetry data that helps the Devtron team in understanding how the product is being used and in deciding what to focus on next.
The data collected is minimal, non PII, statistical in nature and cannot be used to uniquely identify an user.
Please see the next section to see what data is collected and sent. Access to collected data is strictly limited to the Devtron team.
As a growing community, it is very valuable in helping us make the Devtron a better product for everyone!
