Data Collection

Understanding How Traefik is Being Used {: .subtitle }

Configuration Example

By default, this feature is disabled; but to allow us understand better how you use Traefik, please enable the data collection option.

??? example "Enabling Data Collection with TOML"

```toml
[Global]
    # Send anonymous usage data
    # Default: false
    #
    sendAnonymousUsage = true
```

??? example "Enabling Data Collection with the CLI"

```bash
./traefik --sendAnonymousUsage=true
```

Collected Data

This feature comes from the public proposal here.

In order to help us learn more about how Traefik is being used and improve it, we collect anonymous usage statistics from running instances. Those data help us prioritize our developments and focus on what's important for our users (for example, which provider is popular, and which is not).

What's collected / when ?

Once a day (the first call begins 10 minutes after the start of Traefik), we collect:

the Traefik version number
a hash of the configuration
an anonymized version of the static configuration (token, user name, password, URL, IP, domain, email, etc, are removed).

!!! note We do not collect the dynamic configuration information (routers & services). We do not collect these data to run advertising programs. We do not sell these data to third-parties.

Example of Collected Data

??? example "Original configuration"

```toml
[entrypoints]
    [entrypoints.web]
       address = ":80"

[api]

[Docker]
  endpoint = "tcp://10.10.10.10:2375"
  domain = "foo.bir"
  exposedByDefault = true
  swarmMode = true

  [Docker.TLS]
    ca = "dockerCA"
    cert = "dockerCert"
    key = "dockerKey"
    insecureSkipVerify = true

[ECS]
  domain = "foo.bar"
  exposedByDefault = true
  clusters = ["foo-bar"]
  region = "us-west-2"
  accessKeyID = "AccessKeyID"
  secretAccessKey = "SecretAccessKey"
```

??? example "Resulting Obfuscated Configuration"

```toml
[entrypoints]
    [entrypoints.web]
       address = ":80"

[api]

[Docker]
  endpoint = "xxxx"
  domain = "xxxx"
  exposedByDefault = true
  swarmMode = true

  [Docker.TLS]
    ca = "xxxx"
    cert = "xxxx"
    key = "xxxx"
    insecureSkipVerify = false

[ECS]
  domain = "xxxx"
  exposedByDefault = true
  clusters = []
  region = "us-west-2"
  accessKeyID = "xxxx"
  secretAccessKey = "xxxx"
```

The Code for Data Collection

If you want to dig into more details, here is the source code of the collecting system: collector.go

By default we anonymize all configuration fields, except fields tagged with export=true.
