GitHub Copilot adds opt-in user attribution and configurable capture to telemetry
Original titleClient telemetry user attribution and configurable capture
AISummary
GitHub Copilot now lets enterprise administrators attribute activity to users through a telemetry.capture.identity setting that adds user.name, process.user.name and host.name to OpenTelemetry data.
Identity capture is off by default, and prompts, responses, tool arguments, tool output and policy details can each be enabled separately, also off by default. Administrator-managed values override local settings, SDK configuration and environment variables.
