Collection of operational metrics
Customizations for AWS Control Tower (CfCT) includes an option to send anonymous operational metrics to AWS. AWS uses this data to understand how customers are using CfCT, as well as other related services and products. When data collection is enabled, the following information is sent to AWS:
-
Solution ID: The AWS solution identifier
-
Unique ID (UUID): Randomly generated, unique identifier for each deployment
-
Timestamp: Data-collection timestamp
-
State Machine Execution Count: Incrementally counts the number of times this state machine runs
-
Manifest Version: The manifest version used in the configuration
Note
AWS owns the data it collects.
Data collection is subject
to the AWS Privacy Policy
To opt out of sending anonymous operational metrics to AWS, complete one of the following tasks:
-
Update the AWS CloudFormation template mapping section as follows:
from
AnonymousData: SendAnonymousData: Data: Yes
to
AnonymousData: SendAnonymousData: Data: No
-
After CfCT is deployed, find the
/org/primary/metrics_flag
SSM parameter key in the Parameter Store console, and update the value toNo
.
