Pings

Sourcegraph periodically sends a ping to Sourcegraph.com to help our product and customer teams. It sends only the high-level data below. It never sends code, repository names, usernames, or any other specific data. To learn more, go to the Site admin > Pings page on your instance. (The URL is https://sourcegraph.example.com/site-admin/pings.)
