Red Hat Commons provides services common to extensions published by Red Hat. It's an extension library that has no use being installed on its own.

With your approval, extensions published by Red Hat collect anonymous usage data and send it to Red Hat servers to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement to learn more about it.

The first time one of Red Hat extension engaging in telemetry collection runs, you will be asked to opt-in Red Hat's telemetry collection program:

Whether you accept or deny the request, this pop up will not show again.

You can also opt-in later, by setting the redhat.telemetry.enabled user setting to true.

From File > Preferences > Settings (On macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry, and check the Redhat > Telemetry : Enabled setting. This will enable all telemetry events from Red Hat extensions going forward.

If you want to stop sending usage data to Red Hat, you can set the redhat.telemetry.enabled user setting to false.

From File > Preferences > Settings (On macOS: Code > Preferences > Settings), search for telemetry, and uncheck the Redhat > Telemetry : Enabled setting. This will silence all telemetry events from Red Hat extensions going forward.
