## Cline Telemetry

Cline includes opt-in telemetry for anonymous usage tracking:

* Feature usage patterns
* Task completion rates
* Error occurrences
* Performance metrics

Users can enable or disable telemetry in Cline settings. All data is anonymous and does not include code content, file paths, or sensitive information.

See [Cline Telemetry](/enterprise-solutions/monitoring/telemetry) for configuration details.

## OpenTelemetry Integration

For advanced monitoring needs, Cline supports OpenTelemetry's OTLP (OpenTelemetry Protocol) for exporting metrics and logs to your own infrastructure.

This allows you to:

* Export telemetry to your existing observability platforms
* Integrate with tools like Datadog, New Relic, or Grafana Cloud
* Maintain full control over your monitoring data
* Aggregate metrics across your organization

<Note>
  OpenTelemetry integration is **optional** and requires additional configuration. Most users don't need this feature.
</Note>

See [OpenTelemetry](/enterprise-solutions/monitoring/opentelemetry) for setup instructions.

## Use Cases

### When to Use Cline Telemetry

* You want to help improve Cline through anonymous usage data
* No additional setup required
* Suitable for most users

### When to Use OpenTelemetry

* You need granular metrics in your own systems
* You're integrating with existing observability infrastructure
* You want detailed logs and metrics for debugging
* You need custom dashboards or alerting
