archgate telemetry

Manage anonymous usage data collection for the Archgate CLI. Telemetry is opt-out: enabled by default, never captures personally identifiable information, and anonymizes the client IP server-side.

archgate telemetry <subcommand>

See CLI telemetry for the full privacy policy, the list of events emitted, and how telemetry interacts with ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY=0 and CI environments.

Subcommands

Subcommand	Description
archgate telemetry status	Show whether telemetry is enabled for this CLI user
archgate telemetry enable	Enable anonymous usage data collection
archgate telemetry disable	Disable anonymous usage data collection

All three subcommands read and write ~/.archgate/config.json, which persists the opt-in state and the anonymous install ID used as the telemetry distinct_id.

Examples

Check the current state:

archgate telemetry status

Telemetry is enabled.
Anonymous usage data helps improve Archgate. No personal information is collected.

To disable: `archgate telemetry disable` or set ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY=0

Disable telemetry:

archgate telemetry disable

Telemetry disabled. No usage data will be collected.

Re-enable telemetry:

archgate telemetry enable

Telemetry enabled. Thank you for helping improve Archgate.

Environment variable override

Setting ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY=0 (or false, no, off, case-insensitive) disables telemetry for a single invocation regardless of the persisted state. Use this in CI or shared environments where you want opt-out without mutating the user’s config:

ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY=0 archgate check

archgate telemetry status detects the override and reports:

Telemetry is disabled (ARCHGATE_TELEMETRY environment variable).

When the override is in effect, running archgate telemetry enable persists the opt-in but prints a note that the env var continues to disable telemetry until it is unset.
