How to switch off the open-telemetry-meters

Rider still collects OpenTelemetry data and saves it under AppData\Local\JetBrains\Rider2025.2\log even when telemetry is disabled and the IDE is configured not to send usage data. How can I completely disable the collection and storage of telemetry data?

What I have already done: 

Allow detailed data collection by JetBrains AI - disabled

Send Usage Statistics - disabled

 

idea.properties

idea.diagnostic.opentelemetry.otlp=false

rdct.connection.metrics.disbled

Hello Volodymyr, 

Thanks for contacting JetBrains support. OpenTelemetry data you see under the log folder is mostly for JetBrains support and development engineers when diagnosing issues, and will NOT be uploaded to our server if you don't do it explicitly. It has nothing to do with the usage-data sharing policy. 

With that being said, you can disable it by following the workaround in this issue: IJPL-219443 How to reduce the number of generated 'open-telemetry' logs? 

  1. Go to Help | Edit Custom VM Options
  2. Add the following options there as new lines (leave values blank):

    -Didea.diagnostic.opentelemetry.metrics.file=
    -Didea.diagnostic.opentelemetry.meters.file.json=
  3. Restart the IDE

Please let me know if you need any further clarificaiton. 

Regards,

Tom
