Note
This page applies to the Unity CLI beta.17 and later.
Use one command and three environment variables to stop all telemetry and background checks in the Unity CLI. You can turn off each data type independently, or turn off all of them on every developer machine and CI runner. To learn what each data type contains before you turn it off, refer to Unity CLI telemetry data.

Manage usage analytics

To turn usage analytics on or off, or to check its status:
  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Run one of the following commands:
    unity analytics opt-in    # Turn on usage analyticsunity analytics opt-out   # Turn off usage analyticsunity analytics status    # Check whether usage analytics is on
When you opt out, the CLI stops sending usage analytics immediately. You can change this setting at any time.
