What Happens
When linked, dotset run automatically sends anonymized telemetry to your dashboard:
- Command executed (e.g., “npm start”)
- Secrets count loaded
- Exposures blocked (secret key names only, never values)
- Mode used (detect/redact/block)
- Duration and exit code
No secret values are ever sent to the cloud. Only metadata about protection events.
| Command | Description |
|---|
dotset unlink | Disconnect from cloud |
dotset status | Show connection status |
Disable Telemetry
To run a command without reporting:
dotset run --no-telemetry -- npm start
