Manage telemetry

Trail-code sends anonymous usage stats: a daily npm version check and one batched usage ping. The ping carries buckets and fixed labels only. See What stays on your machine.

See what would be sent

Section titled “See what would be sent”
Terminal window
trail telemetry debug

Prints exactly what your machine would send. TELEMETRY.md lists every field.

Turn off the usage ping

Section titled “Turn off the usage ping”
Terminal window
trail telemetry disable

You can also uncheck the box in trail init. Both disable only the usage ping. trail telemetry also takes status and enable.

Turn off both network calls

Section titled “Turn off both network calls”
Terminal window
export DO_NOT_TRACK=1

DO_NOT_TRACK=1 disables both the version check and the usage ping.

The ping is off in CI and in any build from source.
