Manage Telemetry in Vega Tools

Amazon collects telemetry to improve the performance, reliability, and usability of its Vega SDK developer tools. Usage data helps Amazon identify issues, prioritize improvements, and deliver a better developer experience. The Vega SDK and its packaged tools collect telemetry by default. This includes command usage, system information (such as OS and architecture), and runtime errors.

Telemetry is not anonymous, as it may include persistent identifiers that can be used to identify you and project-level identifiers (such as app_id) for your app. You can opt out at any time as described in How to opt out of telemetry collection. If telemetry remains enabled, data is collected in the background without additional prompts. For a full list of telemetry collected, see Types of telemetry collected from Vega SDK.

For more information about how Amazon uses personal information, see Amazon’s Privacy Notice.

How to opt out of telemetry collection

After installing the Vega SDK, you can disable telemetry collection using one of these options:

Option 1: Opt out by modifying the config file:

1. Open the file, {$KEPLER_SDK_PATH}/state/kepler-telemetry/config.json.

2. Set the optIn key to false:

   {
     "optIn": false
   }
   

Option 2: Opt out through Vega Studio

You can also disable telemetry collection through Vega Studio, which syncs the opt-in flag from the config file:

1. In VS Code, go to Code > Settings > Settings.
2. Switch to the User sub-tab.
3. In the Settings search bar, enter Kepler: Telemetry.
4. In the Telemetry: Telemetry Level panel, select Off from the drop-down list.
