Reason for the article
Aspire users may be understandably confused or concerned about the prospect of sending telemetry from the dashboard to Microsoft. We must clarify
- what is sent (non-sensitive usage data)
- why it is sent
- when it is sent
- what is NOT sent (ie resource, command, project, solution names, connection strings or other secrets)
- how to opt out
Users will be uncomfortable if this documentation does not exist. They may stop using Aspire entirely.
Article abstract
The Aspire dashboard includes a telemetry feature that collects usage data when the dashboard is launched through Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code as part of a running Aspire application. This information is sent to Microsoft to help the Aspire team understand how the dashboard is used and help improve the product. Exception information is also sent when unhandled exceptions occur in the dashboard.
