# Understanding Telemetry

SDF sends fully-anonymized telemetry to help us improve the tool by understanding how it is used. Telemetry is optional and can be disabled at any time.

<Check>
  If you are willing and able to leave telemetry enabled, thank you! This will help us better understand how the CLI app is used, allowing us to improve your experience.

## What is tracked?

The following information is included in the telemetry events:

* Anonymous device ID
* Commands executed
* The start and end timestamps of a command execution
* Platform information (device details, operating system, CPU architecture, number of CPUs, total/available memory, etc.)
* Workspace metrics (dialect, number of models etc.)
* Exit code and errors if there are any

We use telemetry for aggregate analysis and do not tie telemetry events to a specific identity.

## Disabling telemetry

You can disable the telemetry by setting the environment variable `DISABLE_SDF_CLI_TELEMETRY=1` before running the SDF.
