Meltano

As I was debugging some of my configs, I discovered a message about Singer sending telemetry data and I am wondering: which elements of the meltano stack send telemetry data? So far, I have found the info about meltano, discovered singer, but wonder about dbt, great expectations and superset

Adding target-parquet to the list: <https://hub.meltano.com/loaders/target-parquet#disable-collection>

See <https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/global-configs#send-anonymous-usage-stats> for dbt

For great expectations, there is a link to <https://docs.greatexpectations.io/docs/reference/anonymous_usage_statistics> in their docs, but I can’t get that page to load. It’s existence implies that it collects telemetry but I don’t see an obvious way to tell it to stop.

actually, got that page to load now and it shows how to turn it off as well

as far as I can tell, all these tools default to gathering data as opposed to having it be opt in

I like that they are quite verbose explaining that data is collected. But depending of the context, some users might reject the tool for this particular data collecting mindset.
