Migrate docs from AsciiDoc to Markdown. The preview can be built after #212557 is merged. @florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s), and take this out of draft when you're ready. Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from some files was moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content). **What has moved to [elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?** Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be found under the following directories in the new docs: - explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting, Alerting, dev tools... - deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote clusters...) - troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages **What is staying in the Kibana repo?** - Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated): Settings, syntax references - Release notes - Developer guide --------- Co-authored-by: Florent Le Borgne <florent.leborgne@elastic.co>

# Telemetry settings in {{kib}} [telemetry-settings-kbn]
|
||
|
||
|
||
Usage Collection (also known as Telemetry) is enabled by default. This allows us to learn what our users are most interested in, so we can improve our products and services.
|
||
|
||
Refer to our [Privacy Statement](https://www.elastic.co/legal/product-privacy-statement) to learn more.
|
||
|
||
You can control whether this data is sent from the {{kib}} servers, or if it should be sent from the user’s browser, in case a firewall is blocking the connections from the server. Additionally, you can disable this feature either in **Stack Management > {{kib}} > Advanced Settings > Global Settings > Usage collection** or the config file with the following settings.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## General telemetry settings [telemetry-general-settings]
|
||
|
||
$$$telemetry-optIn$$$ `telemetry.optIn`
|
||
: Set to `false` to stop sending any telemetry data to Elastic. Reporting your cluster statistics helps us improve your user experience. **Default: `true`.**<br>
|
||
|
||
This setting can be changed at any time in [Advanced Settings](/reference/advanced-settings.md). To prevent users from changing it, set [`telemetry.allowChangingOptInStatus`](/reference/configuration-reference/general-settings.md#telemetry-allowChangingOptInStatus) to `false`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
`telemetry.allowChangingOptInStatus`
|
||
: Set to `false` to disallow overwriting the [`telemetry.optIn`](#telemetry-optIn) setting via the [Advanced Settings](/reference/advanced-settings.md) in {{kib}}. **Default: `true`.**
|
||
|
||
`telemetry.sendUsageFrom`
|
||
: Set to `'server'` to report the cluster statistics from the {{kib}} server. If the server fails to connect to our endpoint at [https://telemetry.elastic.co/](https://telemetry.elastic.co/), it assumes it is behind a firewall and falls back to `'browser'` to send it from users' browsers when they are navigating through {{kib}}. **Default: `'server'`.**
|
||
|
||
`xpack.apm.telemetryCollectionEnabled`
|
||
: Collects information about APM data and API performance. Set this to `false` to specifically disable APM’s collector. **Default: `'true'`.**
