The Together CLI sends anonymous usage events to help Together understand how the CLI is used and prioritize fixes and features. Telemetry applies only when you use the together command-line tool. It is separate from the Python SDK’s behavior unless you invoke the CLI.

​
How to opt out

Telemetry tracking can be opted out via an environment variable TOGETHER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED or via together telemetry disable which saves a local configuration file on disk. 
TOGETHER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 together files upload ./data.jsonl
Below is a set of commands that can be used to disable/enable telemetry and check the status.
CommandWhat it does
telemetry statusPrints whether telemetry is enabled or disabled (and notes when the environment variable below is forcing it off).
telemetry disableDisables telemetry via updates the config file.
telemetry enableEnables telemetry via updates to the config file.
Config file location:
  • macOS / Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/together/cli.json if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, otherwise ~/.config/together/cli.json.
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Together\cli.json.
The same file also stores a generated UUID as a stable, pseudonymous device identifier. An example of the config file may look like this: 
{
  "telemetry_enabled" true,
  "device_id": "7ba688c9-7e39-460a-9c96-ac518ab65605"
}

What is tracked?

The following below is a list of the type of data we collect for all events:
timestampMillisecond timestamp when the event was built.
session_idIdentifier for this CLI process (stable for the lifetime of the process).
device_idStable pseudonymous ID: a UUID stored in cli.json when first needed. We do not use any host hardware fingerprinting for this.
metadataVarious runtime metadata such as the together CLI version, operating system, and CPU architecture.
is_citrue if the CI environment variable is set.
agent_detectionFrom detect_agent - we track if the command was invoked by an agent and which known agent.
commandThe name of the command invoked, for example clusters create
arg_namesThe name of any cli args passed in. We do not collect the values. For example, if you do --secret FOOBAR, we will record that a command was invoked with an argument secret, and we will not record the value FOOBAR.
