Manage anonymous data collection

Akamas might collect anonymized usage information on running optimizations. Collection and tracking are disabled by default and can be manually enabled.

Docker installation

External tracking is managed through the following environment variables:

• AKAMAS_TRACKER_URL: the target URL for all tracking info.

• AKAMAS_TRACKING_OPT_OUT: when set to 1, disables anonymous data collection.

Tracking for a running instance can be enabled by editing the AKAMAS_TRACKING_OPT_OUT variable in the docker-compose.yaml file.

To enable tracking set the variable to the following value:

AKAMAS_TRACKING_OPT_OUT=0

Then issue the command:

docker compose up -d

Kubernetes installation

External tracking is managed through the field trackingOptOut in the Values file. To enable tracking set trackingOptOut to 0 as in the following example and upgrade the installation:

awsAccessKeyId: "YOUR_ACCESSKEY_ID"
awsSecretAccessKey: "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"

trackingOptOut: 0
