The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco APIC-EM uses telemetry to collect information about the user experience with the controller. This information is collected for the following reasons:
To proactively identify any issues with the controller
To better understand the controller features that are most frequently used
To improve and enhance the overall user experience
You are able to view some of the collected telemetry data by viewing the logs using the Cisco APIC-EM GUI. For information about this method, see Searching the Services Logs in Chapter 6, Configuring the Cisco APIC-EM Settings.
Telemetry is enabled with a telemetry service that collects data from the many other controller services. The telemetry service supports Data Access Service (DAS). The telemetry service uploads data to the Cisco Clean Access Agent (CAA) infrastructure on the Cisco cloud using HTTPS.
Telemetry collection is on by default. If you wish to opt out of telemetry collection, then perform the steps in the following procedure.
You must have successfully deployed the Cisco APIC-EM and it must be operational.
You must have administrator (ROLE_ADMIN) permissions and either access to all resources (RBAC scope set to ALL) or an RBAC scope that contains all of the resources that you want to group. For example, to create a group containing a specific set of resources, you must have access to those resources (custom RBAC scope set to all of the resources that you want to group).
For information about user permissions and RBAC scopes required to perform tasks using the Cisco APIC-EM, see "User Settings" in the chapter, "Configuring the Cisco APIC-EM Settings".
If the Cisco APIC-EM is unable to communicate directly with the telemetry server in the Cisco cloud, then a message will appear in the controller GUI (for an admin user) requesting that you configure access to the proxy. This message will contain a direct link to the Proxy Configuration window where you can configure this access. To configure access, enter the appropriate settings for the proxy server that exists between the controller and the telemetry server.
You configure these settings using the Proxy Configuration window in the Cisco APIC-EM GUI.
