Storage Provider Telemetry

Configure and manage telemetry for Shelby storage providers

When you run a Shelby storage provider (Cavalier), your node sends telemetry data to help monitor network health and performance. Telemetry is enabled by default.

No personal information is collected. Shelby telemetry only collects software metrics like storage utilization, performance data, and the IP address of your storage provider.

What is Collected

  • Storage metrics — Blob counts, storage utilization, read/write operations, request latency
  • System metrics — CPU, memory, disk I/O, network connections
  • Identification — Storage provider address and chain ID

Disabling Telemetry

Disabling telemetry is not recommended. It makes it harder to identify and debug issues affecting your storage provider.

[telemetry_config]
  enabled = 0

Troubleshooting

Telemetry not sending

  1. Verify enabled = 1 in config
  2. Ensure network access to the telemetry endpoint
  3. Check logs for errors
