Analytics

Wash collects anonymous data about how you use it. You can opt out of providing this data.

What data does Wash collect?

• Version of Wash
• User locale
• Architecture
• Method invocations (for shipped plugins only)
  • This includes any Wash action invocation
  • It also includes the entry’s plugin

This data is associated with Bolt analytics’ UUID (if available); otherwise, the data is associated with a random, non-identifiable user UUID.

Why does Wash collect data?

Wash collects data to help us understand how it’s being used and make decisions about how to improve it.

How can I opt out of Wash data collection?

To disable the collection of analytics data add the following line to ~/.puppetlabs/wash/analytics.yaml:

disabled: true

You can also disable the collection of analytics data by setting the WASH_DISABLE_ANALYTICS environment variable to true before starting up the Wash daemon.
