tiup telemetry

TiDB, TiUP, and TiDB Dashboard collect usage information by default and share the information with PingCAP to improve the product. For example, through this usage information, PingCAP learns about common TiDB cluster operations and thereby determines the priority of new features.

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.
