Cline Telemetry

Cline includes opt-in telemetry for anonymous usage tracking:

• Feature usage patterns
• Task completion rates
• Error occurrences
• Performance metrics

Users can enable or disable telemetry in Cline settings. All data is anonymous and does not include code content, file paths, or sensitive information.

See Cline Telemetry for configuration details.

OpenTelemetry Integration

For advanced monitoring needs, Cline supports OpenTelemetry's OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) for exporting metrics and logs to your own infrastructure.

This allows you to:

• Export telemetry to your existing observability platforms
• Integrate with tools like Datadog, New Relic, or Grafana Cloud
• Maintain full control over your monitoring data
• Aggregate metrics across your organization

<Note> OpenTelemetry integration is **optional** and requires additional configuration. Most users don't need this feature. </Note>

See OpenTelemetry for setup instructions.
