Telemetry

Telemetry is a capability that is integrated into Automic Automation Intelligence to send product usage and system configuration data to Broadcom. This data helps Broadcom gain insights into customers' product usage, understand their software needs, and focus on the features and platforms that are most commonly used.

By default, the data is collected and stored in the Automic Automation Intelligence database. The collected data is sent to Broadcom only if the Send telemetry data checkbox is selected in the Activate Your Product installation panel or the Send telemetry data box is checked in the Configuration Tool -Telemetry.

Note: Telemetry does not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or sensitive information.
