Grafana Alloy data collection
By default, Grafana Alloy sends anonymous but uniquely identifiable usage information from your Alloy instance to Grafana Labs.
These statistics are sent to stats.grafana.org
.
Statistics help Grafana better understand how Alloy is used. This helps us prioritize features and documentation.
The usage information includes the following details:
- A randomly generated, anonymous, unique ID (UUID).
- Timestamp of when the UID was first generated.
- Timestamp of when the report was created (by default, every four hours).
- The version of Alloy.
- The operating system Alloy is running on.
- The system architecture Alloy is running on.
- A list of enabled components
- The method used to deploy Alloy, for example Docker, Helm, or a Linux package.
This list may change over time. All newly reported data is documented in the CHANGELOG.
Opt-out of data collection
You can use the -disable-reporting
command line flag to disable the reporting and opt-out of the data collection.
