Help us make a better product by opting in to automatically send information to Hortonworks. This includes enabling Hortonworks SmartSense and sending performance and usage info. As you use the product, SmartSense measures and collects information and then sends these information bundles to Hortonworks.

Disabling SmartSense telemetry

Disable bundle upload for Cloudbreak and new clusters

Important

Do not perform these steps when you have clusters currently in the process of being deployed. Wait for all clusters to be deployed.

  1. SSH into the Cloudbreak host.

  2. Edit /var/lib/cloudbreak-deployment/Profile.

  3. Change CB_SMARTSENSE_CONFIGURE to false:

    export CB_SMARTSENSE_CONFIGURE=false

  4. Restart the cloud controller:

    cd /var/lib/cloudbreak-deployment
cbd restart

Disable bundle upload for an existing cluster

  1. SSH into the master node for the cluster.

  2. Edit /etc/hst/conf/hst-server.ini.

  3. Change [gateway] configuration to false:

    [gateway]
enabled=false

  4. Restart the SmartSense Server: 

    hst restart

  5. (Optional) Disable SmartSense daily bundle capture:

    • SmartSense is scheduled to capture a telemetry bundle daily. With the bundle upload disabled, the bundle will still be captured but just saved locally (i.e. not uploaded).
    • To disable the bundle capture, execute the following: 
      hst capture-schedule -a pause

  6. Repeat on all existing clusters.
