Telemetry

ingestr uses a very basic form of anonymous telemetry to be able to keep track of the usage on a high-level.

• It uses anonymous machine IDs that are hashed to keep track of the number of unique users.
• It sends the following information:
  • ingestr version
  • machine ID
  • OS information: OS, architecture, Python version
  • command executed
  • success/failure

The information collected here is used to understand the usage of ingestr and to improve the product. We use Rudderstack to collect the events and we don't store any PII.

The specific events that are sent are:

• command triggered
• command finished

The questions we answer by these simple events are:

• How many unique users are using ingestr?
• How many times is ingestr being used?

Disabling telemetry

If you'd like to turn off the telemetry, simply set the INGESTR_DISABLE_TELEMETRY environment variable to true.
