Anonymous Telemetry

Since v1.10

The anonymous telemetry feature helps us better understand how ZaneOps is actually used in production environments.

It works by sending a simple PING request at most every 30 minutes to the ZaneOps CDN (cdn.zaneops.dev).

The complete source code of the CDN can be found here.

You can easily disable anonymous telemetry by modifying the environment variable in your .env file:

/var/www/zaneops/.env
TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false # or true

When a PING request is sent to the CDN, we capture the requester’s IP address and hash it twice: first using a SHA-256 hash, then a second time using HMAC-256 with a secret key that only the CDN knows. This process is irreversible, ensuring the data remains completely anonymous.

You can review the hashing implementation here.
