With analytics now default enabled, what is data/metrics/info is sent? about cloudflared HOT 3 CLOSED

There is no information actively sent. What that allows is for the engineering team to query cloudflared if necessary, for example if a client is currently facing an issue and reaches out to our support. By querying I mean:

• Scrape the metrics
• Take go routine and/or heap dumps of cloudflared process
  

  cloudflared/management/service.go

  Lines 94 to 99 in 110b2b4

  	if enableDiagServices {
  	// Prometheus endpoint
  	r.With(corsHandler).Get("/metrics", s.metricsHandler.ServeHTTP)
  	// Supports only heap and goroutine
  	r.With(corsHandler).Get("/debug/pprof/{profile:heap|goroutine}", pprof.Index)
  	}

Remember that anyone can still disable it by setting the flag to false: --management-diagnostics=false (or env TUNNEL_MANAGEMENT_DIAGNOSTICS)

Thank you, I appreciate the clarification.

@jcsf Sorry to bother you. I didn't want to open a whole new issue for this small question:

Unless overridden with TUNNEL_METRICS environment variable or --metrics argument, is the local port binding for the metrics endpoint randomly assigned? (it seems to be...)
