Telemetry Data Collected

Category	Data Points
Session	Session ID, timestamps, duration
Agent	Agent type, model used, configuration
Execution	Status, errors, retries
Performance	Response time, token counts
Tools	Tool calls, success/failure rates

Use Cases

Performance Monitoring

Track execution times across different tasks:

# Monitor a complex workflow
praisonai "Multi-step analysis" --telemetry --planning

Debugging

Identify issues in agent execution:

# Verbose telemetry for debugging
praisonai "Failing task" --telemetry -v

Expected Output (with error):

📡 Telemetry enabled

Usage Analytics

Track patterns over time:

# Run multiple tasks with telemetry
praisonai "Task 1" --telemetry
praisonai "Task 2" --telemetry
praisonai "Task 3" --telemetry

Privacy & Data

Telemetry data is used to improve PraisonAI and is handled according to our privacy policy. No prompt content or sensitive data is collected.

What’s Collected

✅ Execution metrics (duration, token counts)
✅ Error types and frequencies
✅ Feature usage patterns
✅ Model selection statistics

What’s NOT Collected

❌ Prompt content
❌ Response content
❌ API keys or credentials
❌ Personal information

Disable Telemetry

To disable telemetry globally:

export PRAISON_TELEMETRY=false

Or in Python:

import os
os.environ["PRAISON_TELEMETRY"] = "false"

Best Practices

Development

Enable telemetry during development to catch performance issues early

Production

Use telemetry to monitor production deployments and track SLAs

Debugging

Combine with -v verbose flag for detailed debugging information

Cost Tracking

Pair with --metrics for complete cost and performance visibility
