# Grafana Agent Data collection

By default, Grafana Agent sends anonymous but uniquely identifiable usage information from your Grafana Agent instance to Grafana Labs. These statistics are sent to `stats.grafana.org`.

Statistics help us better understand how Grafana Agent is used. This helps us prioritize features and documentation.

The usage information includes the following details:

- A randomly generated, anonymous unique ID (UUID).
- Timestamp of when the UID was first generated.
- Timestamp of when the report was created (by default, every four hours).
- Version of running Grafana Agent.
- Operating system Grafana Agent is running on.
- System architecture Grafana Agent is running on.
- List of enabled feature flags ( [Static](/docs/agent/latest/static/) mode only).
- List of enabled integrations ( [Static](/docs/agent/latest/static/) mode only).
- List of enabled [components](/docs/agent/latest/flow/concepts/components/) ( [Flow](/docs/agent/latest/flow/) mode only).
- Method used to deploy Grafana Agent, for example Docker, Helm, RPM, or Operator.

This list may change over time. All newly reported data is documented in the CHANGELOG.

## Opt-out of data collection

You can use the `-disable-reporting` [command line flag](/docs/agent/latest/flow/reference/cli/run/) to disable the reporting and opt-out of the data collection.
