# Enabling Telemetry for your Matrix server (optional)
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
usage statistics from your homeserver. Enabling usage statistics 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 general usage statistics** for your homeserver, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/host_vars/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
matrix_synapse_report_stats: true # for synapse
|
|
|
|
matrix_dendrite_report_stats: true # for dendrite
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage statistics being submitted
|
|
|
|
When enabled, your homeserver will regularly upload a few dozen statistics about your server.
|
|
This data includes your homeserver's domain, the total number of users, the number of active
|
|
users, the total number of rooms, and the number of messages sent per day on your homeserver.
|
|
|
|
See [Synapse's documentation](https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/blob/develop/docs/usage/administration/monitoring/reporting_homeserver_usage_statistics.md#available-statistics) or [Dendrite's documentation](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#what-is-being-reported-when-enabling-phone-home-statistics)
|
|
for the full list of statistics that are reported.
