By default, this playbook configures your Matrix homeserver to not send any telemetry data anywhere.
The [matrix.org](https://matrix.org) team would really appreciate it if you could help the project out by reporting
anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very basic aggregate
data (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps track the
anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very [basic aggregate
data](#usage-statistics-being-submitted) (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps track the
growth of the Matrix community, and helps to make Matrix a success.
## Enabling Telemetry
If you'd like to **help by enabling submission of anonymized usage statistics** for your homeserver, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
```yaml
matrix_synapse_report_stats: true
```
## Usage statistics being submitted
If statistics reporting is enabled, the information that gets submitted to the matrix.org team [according to the source code](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/app/homeserver.py) is:
- your homeserver's domain name
- uptime of the homeserver program
- [Python](https://www.python.org/) version powering your homeserver
- total number of users on your home server (including bridged users)
- total number of native Matrix users on your home server
- total number of rooms on your homeserver
- total number of daily active users on your homeserver
- total number of daily active rooms on your homeserver
- total number of messages sent per day
- cache setting information
- CPU and memory statistics for the homeserver program
