Telemetry

Observable Framework documentation: Telemetry Source: https://observablehq.com/framework/telemetry

Observable Framework collects anonymous usage data to help improve the product. This data is sent to Observable and is not shared with third parties. Telemetry data is covered by Observable's privacy policy.

You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the OBSERVABLE_TELEMETRY_DISABLE environment variable to true.

What is collected?

The telemetry collects general usage data including: the command being run, the Framework version, the Node version, the operating system, whether it's running in CI, build/page counts, and timing data.

To inspect telemetry data, set the OBSERVABLE_TELEMETRY_DEBUG environment variable to true. This will print the telemetry data to stderr instead of sending it to Observable.

What is not collected?

Observable never collects identifying or sensitive information, such as environment variables, file names or paths, or file contents.
