I understand I am not required to allow telemetry. That is not my concern in this.
After the upgrade to 9.1.2+ a high/red alert is repeatedly shown in the system logs that telemetry is simply not configured and cannot be used until, according to the procedure, the certificates are in place.
If anyone is not required to allow telemetry why didn't they choose to:
- Make enabling telemetry participation an opt-in feature, or
- Add a more intuitive notification AND alert (informational): "Telemetry is not configured. Please see manual how to enable it."
Just adding a high alert to the system logs, because a new feature is not configured is unnecessary and created some confusion.
Missing/faulty/expired certificates is typically a bad thing and often does need immediate attention. In this case it does not.
