No telemetry data is collected by any *Authelia* binaries, tooling, etc by default and all telemetry data is intended
to be used by administrators of their individual *Authelia* installs.

## Metrics

### Prometheus

*Authelia* supports exporting [Prometheus] metrics. These metrics are served on a separate port at the `/metrics` path
when configured. If metrics are enabled the metrics listener listens on `0.0.0.0:9959` as per the officially
[registered port] unless configured otherwise.

#### Vector Definitions

##### code

The HTTP response status code.

##### method

##### success

If the authentication was successful (`true`) or not (`false`).

##### banned

If the authentication was considered banned (`true`) or not (`false`).

##### type

The authentication type `webauthn`, `totp`, or `duo`.
