The telemetry feature facilitates users to provide consent whether to send the data from the VMware Aria Automation Plug-in to VMware.

The following data will be sent to VMware after the user provides the consent:

  • Organization Id

  • Projects

  • Deployments

  • Catalog items

To provide consent to send data or not, the user must navigate to the Manage Endpoint table and click the existing endpoint, or while registering a new endpoint, the consent pop-up will be displayed.

  • To provide consent, click Yes. The scheduled job will start sending telemetry data to VMware and the consent pop-up will not be prompted again for the user.

  • To not provide consent, click No. The telemetry data will not be sent to VMware and a consent pop-up will be prompted after every 30 days for further consent.

Procedure

  1. If the user responds to the consent pop-up as Yes but do not wish to send the telemetry data to VMware, then the user needs to perform the following steps:
    1. Navigate to x_vmw_cloudservice.telemetry_last_trigger system property.
