Kuma data collection

Kuma collects some data about your deployment by default. The collected data is sent to Kong servers for storage and aggregation. You can disable data collection when you install the control plane.

Disable data collection on Kubernetes

  1. Set the following environment variable:

    KUMA_REPORTS_ENABLED=false
    
  2. Specify the environment variable when you install the control plane. See the configuration docs for details.

Or you can set the reports.enabled field to true in the config YAML file.
