Telemetry

Graphiti collects anonymous usage statistics to help us understand how the framework is being used and improve it for everyone. We believe transparency is important, so here’s exactly what we collect and why.

What We Collect

When you initialize a Graphiti instance, we collect:

• Anonymous identifier: A randomly generated UUID stored locally in ~/.cache/graphiti/telemetry_anon_id
• System information: Operating system, Python version, and system architecture
• Graphiti version: The version you’re using
• Configuration choices:
  • LLM provider type (OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, etc.)
  • Database backend (Neo4j, FalkorDB)
  • Embedder provider (OpenAI, Azure, Voyage, etc.)

What We Don’t Collect

We are committed to protecting your privacy. We never collect:

• Personal information or identifiers
• API keys or credentials
• Your actual data, queries, or graph content
• IP addresses or hostnames
• File paths or system-specific information
• Any content from your episodes, nodes, or edges

Why We Collect This Data

This information helps us:

• Understand which configurations are most popular to prioritize support and testing
• Identify which LLM and database providers to focus development efforts on
• Track adoption patterns to guide our roadmap
• Ensure compatibility across different Python versions and operating systems

By sharing this anonymous information, you help us make Graphiti better for everyone in the community.

How to Disable Telemetry

Telemetry is opt-out and can be disabled at any time. To disable telemetry collection:

Option 1: Environment Variable

$
export GRAPHITI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false

Option 2: Set in your shell profile

$
# For bash users (~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile)
$
echo 'export GRAPHITI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false' >> ~/.bashrc
$
$
# For zsh users (~/.zshrc)
$
echo 'export GRAPHITI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false' >> ~/.zshrc

Option 3: Set for a specific Python session

1
import os
2
os.environ['GRAPHITI_TELEMETRY_ENABLED'] = 'false'
3
4
# Then initialize Graphiti as usual
5
from graphiti_core import Graphiti
6
graphiti = Graphiti(...)

Telemetry is automatically disabled during test runs (when pytest is detected).

Technical Details

• Telemetry uses PostHog for anonymous analytics collection
• All telemetry operations are designed to fail silently - they will never interrupt your application or affect Graphiti functionality
• The anonymous ID is stored locally and is not tied to any personal information
