# Enabling Telemetry for your Matrix server
By default, this playbook configures your Matrix homeserver to not send any telemetry data anywhere.
The [matrix.org](https://matrix.org) team would really appreciate it if you could help the project out by reporting
anonymized usage statistics from your homeserver. Only very [basic aggregate
data](#usage-statistics-being-submitted) (e.g. number of users) will be reported, but it helps track the
growth of the Matrix community, and helps to make Matrix a success.
## Enabling Telemetry
If you'd like to **help by enabling submission of anonymized usage statistics** for your homeserver, add this to your configuration file (`inventory/matrix.<your-domain>/vars.yml`):
```yaml
matrix_synapse_report_stats: true
```
## Usage statistics being submitted
If statistics reporting is enabled, the information that gets submitted to the matrix.org team [according to the source code](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/blob/master/synapse/app/homeserver.py) is:
- your homeserver's domain name
- uptime of the homeserver program
- [Python](https://www.python.org/) version powering your homeserver
- total number of users on your home server (including bridged users)
- total number of native Matrix users on your home server
- total number of rooms on your homeserver
- total number of daily active users on your homeserver
- total number of daily active rooms on your homeserver
- total number of messages sent per day
- cache setting information
- CPU and memory statistics for the homeserver program
