gotelemetry

gotelemetry [command]

gotelemetry manages Go toolchain telemetry settings. It controls whether usage statistics and crash reports are collected and, optionally, uploaded to help the Go team prioritize improvements to the toolchain.Running the command with no arguments shows the current mode. Three modes are supported: local (default) collects counters and reports on disk but never uploads them, on additionally uploads approved counters to telemetry.go.dev, and off disables collection entirely. The view command renders the locally stored reports as charts in a browser.Since Go 1.23, the same functionality is also exposed via go telemetry [on|off|local] as a subcommand of the go tool, without needing the separate gotelemetry binary.
