Telemetry Module
================
-The telemetry module sends anonymous data about the cluster back to the Ceph
+The telemetry module sends anonymous data about the cluster back to the
developers to report how Ceph is used and to report problems experienced by
users.

+This data is visualized on the `public dashboards

summary of statistics including how many clusters are reporting, their total
capacity and OSD count, and version distribution trends.
Channels
--------
-The telemetry report is broken down into several "channels", each with
-a different type of information. If telemetry has been enabled,
-individual channels can be turned on and off. (If telemetry is off,
-the per-channel setting has no effect.)
