OpenVINO™ Telemetry is a Python 3 library (current version 2025.2.0) designed to collect anonymous usage and performance data from OpenVINO™ toolkit components. It sends events, comprising a category, action, and label, to Google Analytics to aid in debugging and further development. The library is actively maintained as part of the broader OpenVINO™ toolkit, with releases typically aligning with OpenVINO™ versions.

This quickstart demonstrates how to import the `openvino_telemetry` library and send anonymous usage events. Events consist of a `category` (tool name), `action` (metric/function), and `label` (detailed data, often a JSON-like string). Telemetry collection is opt-out by default and requires user consent, which can also be managed via the `opt_in_out` command line utility.
Developers integrating `openvino-telemetry` should be aware of the consent mechanism. Ensure that users grant consent or, for testing/development, explicitly enable telemetry using `opt_in_out --opt_in` if data is expected to be sent.
Always construct a single stringified dictionary (or a similar structured string) for the `label` argument to `send_event` when you want to track connected data points for a single event.
Factor in the 14-month data retention policy when designing analytics dashboards or performing historical data analysis based on telemetry from `openvino-telemetry`.
Disable OpenVINO telemetry by running `opt_in_out --opt_out` in your environment before executing OpenVINO code, or by setting appropriate environment variables to opt out of telemetry if the command-line tool is not feasible. For AWS Lambda, a common workaround involves modifying the library internally to point to a writable directory like `/tmp` (though this is a hacky solution).
Ensure the `openvino` package is correctly installed in your active Python environment by running `pip install openvino`. If using virtual environments, make sure the correct environment is activated.
Install the `openvino-telemetry` package using pip: `pip install openvino-telemetry`.
