Opting Out of Telemetry

UiPath collects usage and performance data to help diagnose problems and help improve Orchestrator. The information we collect can include data on UiPath product information, the operating system, and browser versions. For more details about UiPath’s privacy practices, please review the privacy statement.

The collection of data in Orchestrator is controlled through a UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config parameter named Telemetry.Enabled. This is set to true or false during the installation process according to the specified parameters.

This option is enabled by default, yet it is possible to opt-out of sending usage and performance data collection in Orchestrator:

• at install-time using command line parameters;
• after the installation process, by modifying the UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config file.

If you want to see how to opt-out of telemetry in Studio and Robot, please visit this page.

Using Command Line Parameters

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
2. Go to the directory in which you downloaded the UiPathOrchestrator.msi. For example, cd D:\UiPath.
3. Run the setup artifact with the required parameters, and also add TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0. For example, the following command silently installs Orchestrator in a custom location and connects it to an SQL database with the provided SQL credentials, and opts out of usage data:

   UiPathOrchestrator.msi ADDLOCAL=OrchestratorFeature ORCHESTRATORFOLDER=C:\UiPathOrchestrator APPPOOL_IDENTITY_TYPE=USER APPPOOL_USER_NAME=serviceAccount APPPOOL_PASSWORD=1234qwer DB_SERVER_NAME=.\sqlexpress DB_DATABASE_NAME=UiPath DB_AUTHENTICATION_MODE=SQL DB_USER_NAME=SQLUSER DB_PASSWORD=SQLUSERPASSWORD TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0 /Q

   Note:

   The TELEMETRY_ENABLED parameter can also be added when updating your Orchestrator instance. If the parameter is omitted on updates, the previous value is preserved.

   If the key was missing in the previous version of Orchestrator, and you do not provide the TELEMETRY_ENABLED parameter during the update, Telemetry.Enabled is automatically set to true.

Changing the UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config File

You can opt out of sending usage data by performing the following steps:

1. Go to the location of the UiPath.Orchestrator.dll.config file. By default, the path is C:\Program Files (x86)\UiPath\Orchestrator.
2. Open the file with a text editor such as Notepad++.
3. In the appSettings section, change the value of the Telemetry.Enabled parameter to false.
4. Save your changes. Your Orchestrator instance no longer sends usage data to UiPath.
