Analytics

Fides includes an implementation of fideslog to provide Ethyca with an understanding of user interactions with fides tooling.

All collected analytics are anonymized, and only used in either product roadmap determination, or as insight into product adoption. Information collected by fideslog is received via HTTPs request, stored in a secure database, and never shared with third parties unless required by law.

More information on use, implementation, and configuration can be found in the fideslog repository.

Collected Data

Fideslog collects information on instances of Fides by recording internal events. Using Fides may result in sending any or all of the following analytics data to Ethyca:

Parameter	Description
docker	If fides is run in a docker container.
event	The type of analytics event - currently, either a server start or endpoint call.
event_created	The time of the event.
endpoint	The endpoint accessed.
status_code	The status result of the request.
error	Error information, if any.

Disabling Fideslog

Variable	Default	Use
analytics_opt_out	False	Include in your fides.toml file.
