## Usage ping
In order for GitLab to become a data-driven company, where deciding what to
build next is driven by how users are using the product, GitLab needs to collect
usage data. This is done via a feature called usage ping.
Usage ping is a weekly, anonymous JSON sent to GitLab, containing several
metrics on how people use specific features.
You can see at any given point in time the content of the JSON file that will be
sent in the Administration panel of your GitLab installation. This feature can
also be deactivated at any given time.
The information that is sent contains the total number of:
*
Comments
*

*

*

More will be added over time. The goal of this ping is to be as light as
possible, so it won't have any performance impact on your installation when
calculation is made.
### Deactivate the usage ping
By default, usage ping is opt-out. If you want to deactivate, go to the Settings
page of your administration panel and uncheck the Usage ping checkbox.

## Cohorts
As a benefit of having the usage ping active, GitLab lets you analyze the user's
activities of your GitLab installation. Under [LINK], when the usage ping is
active, GitLab will show the monthly cohorts of new users and their activities
over time.
