Disable Telemetry - Iii

iii collects aggregated anonymous usage data to help improve the engine. No personal information is collected unless provided by you. Use this guide to opt out.

Steps

Set the following environment variable before running iii:

bash

export III_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false

To make this permanent, add it to your shell profile (e.g. ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc):

bash

echo 'export III_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc

Result

iii will no longer send any anonymous usage data.

<Info title="This is not OpenTelemetry"> This setting controls anonymous usage data collection by the iii Engine. To disable OpenTelemetry observability instrumentation (traces, metrics, logs), set `OTEL_ENABLED=false` instead or pass `enabled=False` in your `OtelConfig`. See the [OpenTelemetry Integration](/advanced/telemetry) page for details. </Info>
