Disable PnP telemetry

PnP components send telemetry data to PnP team which helps to get more statistics for making various technical and architectural decisions. However sometimes you may want to disable it for the customer (e.g. due to GDPR or related topics). In this case you need to disable telemetry in the following components:

• PnP.PowerShell
• PnP.Framework
• PnP.Core
• pnp js
  

For disabling telemetry in PnP.PowerShell run the following command:

$env:PNPPOWERSHELL_DISABLETELEMETRY = $true

Note that it will disable PnP.PowerShell telemetry only in the current PowerShell session.

PnP.Framework itself doesn't send telemetry but it uses PnP.Core in some scenarios (e.g. modern pages API) which in turn sends telemetry. I.e. if you use PnP.Framework (and not create PnP.Core context by yourself) there is currently no option to disable it. However PnP team is working over it and probably soon there will be update about it. For disabling telemetry in PnP.Core you need to set property DisableTelemetry to false during creation of the context e.g. like this:

public class Startup : FunctionsStartup
{
    public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
    {
        var config = builder.GetContext().Configuration;
        var settings = new Settings();
        config.Bind(settings);
        builder.Services.AddPnPCore(options =>
        {
            options.DisableTelemetry = true;
            ...
        });
    }
}

For disabling telemetry in pnp js use the following code:

import PnPTelemetry from "@pnp/telemetry-js";

const telemetry = PnPTelemetry.getInstance();
telemetry.optOut();
