Cachet’s “beacon” system is an optional telemetry system that allows you to send anonymous usage data to Cachet. This data helps us understand how Cachet is being used and how we can improve it.

​
Configuration

By default, Cachet’s beacon is turned off. You can opt into it by setting the CACHET_BEACON environment variable to true.

.env
CACHET_BEACON=true

If you’re limiting outbound requests on your server and you’d like to opt into the beacon, you’ll need to allow outbound requests to https://cachethq.io.

​
What data is collected?

  • Install ID: An anonymous identifier for your Cachet installation.
  • Cachet Version: The version of Cachet you’re running.
  • Docker: Whether you’re running Cachet in a Docker container.
  • Database: The type of database you’re using.
  • Usage Data: How you’re using Cachet, such as the number of incidents, components, subscribers, etc.
