     3  # Opt-In Usage Information
     4  
     5  When you start DDEV for the first time or install a new release, you’ll be asked whether to send usage and error information to DDEV’s developers.
     6  
     7  Regardless of your choice, you can change this at any time by editing `~/.ddev/global_config.yaml` and setting `instrumentation_opt_in: true` or `instrumentation_opt_in: false`.
     8  
     9  If you choose to share diagnostics, it helps us tremendously in our effort to improve the tool. Here’s an example of what we might see:
    10  
    11  ![Usage Stats](../../images/usage-stats.png)
    12  
    13  If you have any reservations about this, please opt out (`ddev config global --instrumentation-opt-in=false`). If you have any issues or concerns with it, we’d like to know.
