Opts in or out of sending usage information and error reports (telemetry) to Wix.
The following states are available for the wix telemetry command:
on: Opt in to sending usage information and error reports to Wix.off: Opt out of sending usage information and error reports to Wix.The setting is saved in .wix/user.config.json in your home directory and applies to every Wix CLI project for your user account. Set it on each computer you work on. Telemetry is on by default.
wix telemetry off turns off both types. Turning off error reports requires Wix CLI 1.1.258 or later.
Setting the DO_NOT_TRACK environment variable to 1 turns off all telemetry for a single run, without changing your saved setting.
For example, this runs wix build without telemetry:
Use this variable in CI pipelines and in sandboxed environments, such as an AI coding agent's execution container, where outbound network requests are restricted or reviewed. With DO_NOT_TRACK=1, the CLI makes no telemetry or error-reporting requests, so you don't need to allow any telemetry destination. Only the exact value 1 turns telemetry off, per the DO_NOT_TRACK standard; any other value leaves your saved setting in effect. The variable can only turn telemetry off. It never re-enables telemetry you turned off with wix telemetry off.
