Telemetry
To help us improve Weaviate and understand community usage trends, Weaviate collects telemetry data by default. This includes basic information like your server version, operating system, the number of objects in your instance, and cloud metadata. We may use this data to identify potential customers for our commercial services and may share it with third parties for this purpose. For full details, see our privacy policy.
We do not collect your data objects, collection names, or any content from your datasets. Only the information listed below is collected.
Data collected
On startup, the Weaviate server generates a unique instance ID. Every 24 hours the instance sends this information:
- Machine id
- Payload type
- Server version
- Host operating system
- Modules used
- Number of objects in the instance
- Cloud Metadata (see below)
Weaviate does not collect any other telemetry information.
Disabling telemetry data
To disable telemetry, add this line to your system configuration file:
DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true
Cloud metadata
Since Weaviate version v1.33, Weaviate will, when available, collect basic metadata from metadata endpoints it has access to on selected cloud providers (Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Azure).

The cloud metadata contains:
- AWS: AWS Account ID
