How do I stop .NET Telemetry to stop collecting data in Ubuntu Linux

When updating my ubuntu system I saw the following messages. **Telemetry

The .NET Core tools collect usage data in order to help us improve your experience. The data is anonymous and doesn't include command-line arguments. The data is collected by Microsoft and shared with the community. You can opt-out of telemetry by setting the DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT environment variable to '1' or 'true' using your favorite shell.

How can I disable the telemetry from collecting data?

Solution

  • Try using this. This should disable the telemetry data collection.

    export DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1

    Update: I agree with XPhyro. One can add this to the ~/.bash_profile as well.
