2025-06-24Refactor usage statistics to be a top-level setting (#1363)Jerop Kipruto
This commit refactors the `usageStatisticsEnabled` setting from a sub-property of the `telemetry` configuration to a top-level setting. This change simplifies the configuration by decoupling usage statistics from the telemetry settings. The documentation has also been updated to reflect this change.

2025-06-23docs(telemetry): relocate telemetry documentation (#1327)Jerop Kipruto
Moves the telemetry.md file from docs/core to the top-level docs/ directory to make it more discoverable. Updates the link in the main index.md and removes the old reference from the CLI configuration page.
2025-06-23Edit pass of docs/core/index.md (#1338)starsandskies
Make a pass through the docs/core/index.md file to hopefully improve readability and consistency. Of particular note, I've cut out a big chunk that felt mostly like implementation details that aren't particularly relevant for public consumption, and I cut out a discussion of cli/core interconnection that is covered better higher up in the docs hierarchy

Make a pass through the docs/troubleshooting.md file to hopefully improve readability and consistency. Notably, some links in the existing documentation appear to point to non-existent pages. I've updated them to what I believe is an appropriate alternative. Also, there's some vague usage of "CLI" and "server", which I've -hopefully correctly- called "Gemini CLI" and "MCP server"

2025-06-17Move theme discussion from configuration.md to themes.md (#1158)starsandskies
This content looks like it is better hosted in the themes.md doc. This is as close as possible to an as-is cut-paste from one file to the other, with the goal of minimizing fine-grained review in this particular PR. I'll take another pass through themes.md specifically to improve the moved content in a follow up PR

2025-06-16small fixes in telemetry docs (#1081)Jerop Kipruto
- `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` --> `OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` - Remove `npm run start:gcp` shorthand from docs until after improving cleanup process
2025-06-15Add a command for starting Gemini CLI with GCP telemetry (#1079)Jerop Kipruto
This command enables starting the application with GCP telemetry: ```shell npm run start:gcp ```
2025-06-16Decouple telemetry project ID configuration (#1077)Jerop Kipruto
#750 Renames project ID for telemetry from `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` to `OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`. This change allows for a separate Google Cloud Project to be used for telemetry data, distinct from the project used for other services like Vertex AI or Code Assist. This enhances clarity and flexibility in project configuration.
2025-06-15Add file operation telemetry (#1068)Jerop Kipruto
Introduces telemetry for file create, read, and update operations. This change adds the `gemini_cli.file.operation.count` metric, recorded by the `read-file`, `read-many-files`, and `write-file` tools. The metric includes the following attributes: - `operation` (string: `create`, `read`, `update`): The type of file operation. - `lines` (optional, Int): Number of lines in the file. - `mimetype` (optional, string): Mimetype of the file. - `extension` (optional, string): File extension of the file. Here is a stacked bar chart of file operations by extension (`js`, `ts`, `md`): ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3e8f8ea9-6155-4186-863c-075cc47647c5) Here is a stacked bar chart of file operations by type (`create`, `read`, `update`): ![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3fcf491d-31d0-4ba8-80e6-7fd2bd9c7c27) #750 cc @allenhutchison as discussed

2025-06-15Add telemetry command and refactor telemetry settings (#1060)Jerop Kipruto
#750 ### Telemetry Settings Refactors telemetry configuration to use a nested `telemetry` object in `settings.json`, for example: ```json { "telemetry": { "enabled": true, "target": "gcp" "log-prompts": "true" }, "sandbox": false } ``` The above includes - Centralized telemetry settings under a `telemetry` object in `settings.json`. - CLI flags for the `gemini` command to override all telemetry sub-settings: - `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry` - `--telemetry-target <local|gcp>` - `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>` - `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts` - Updates `packages/cli/src/config/config.ts` and `packages/core/src/config/config.ts` to read from the new settings structure and respect the new CLI flags. - Modifies `scripts/handle-telemetry.js`, `scripts/local_telemetry.js`, and `scripts/telemetry_utils.js` to align with the new settings structure. - Updates `docs/core/telemetry.md` to reflect the new settings structure, CLI flags, and order of precedence. - Renames `logUserPromptsEnabled` to `logPrompts` for brevity. ### `npm run telemetry` Add a new `npm run telemetry` command that uses `scripts/telemetry.js`, automates the entire process of setting up a local and GCP telemetry pipelines, including configuring the necessary settings in the `.gemini/settings.json` workspace file and installing required binaries (e.g. `otelcol-contrib`). --- ```shell $ npm run telemetry -- --target=gcp > [email protected] telemetry > node scripts/telemetry.js --target=gcp โš™๏ธ Using command-line target: gcp ๐Ÿš€ Running telemetry script for target: gcp. โœจ Starting Local Telemetry Exporter for Google Cloud โœจ โš™๏ธ Enabled telemetry in workspace settings. ๐Ÿ”ง Set telemetry OTLP endpoint to http://localhost:4317. ๐ŸŽฏ Set telemetry target to gcp. โœ… Workspace settings updated. โœ… Using Google Cloud Project ID: foo-bar ๐Ÿ”‘ Please ensure you are authenticated with Google Cloud: - Run `gcloud auth application-default login` OR ensure `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable points to a valid service account key. - The account needs "Cloud Trace Agent", "Monitoring Metric Writer", and "Logs Writer" roles. โœ… otelcol-contrib already exists at /Users/jerop/github/gemini-cli/.gemini/otel/bin/otelcol-contrib ๐Ÿงน Cleaning up old processes and logs... โœ… Deleted old GCP collector log. ๐Ÿ“„ Wrote OTEL collector config to /Users/jerop/github/gemini-cli/.gemini/otel/collector-gcp.yaml ๐Ÿš€ Starting OTEL collector for GCP...

2025-06-14fix: Push tool calls to absolute paths (#1055) (#1057)Keir Mierle
Make several changes to guide the model to request absolute paths, reducing frequent accidental relative path tool call failures. - Switch the parameter name: path --> absolute_path. - Update the tool definition to strongly require an absolute path. - Update the system prompt to indicate absolute paths are required. - Update the system prompt tool use examples to use absolute paths. Test case: Open GC in GC: "Locate the primary file calling genai" - Expected: Model opens files with absolute path, successfully. - Actual (pre-patch): Failure, attempts to read with relative path. - Actual (post-patch): Success, attempts to read with absolute path.

2025-06-14docs: clarify telemetry script usage (#1034)Jerop Kipruto
Updates the telemetry documentation and the GCP telemetry script to make it clearer that the Gemini CLI needs to be run in a separate terminal session after starting the collector script. This addresses potential user confusion where they might expect telemetry data to appear without actively using the CLI. #750

2025-06-14Add `/compress` command to force a compression of the context (#986)Jacob MacDonald
Related to https://b.corp.google.com/issues/423605555 - I figured this might be a simpler solution to start with, while still also being useful on its own even if we do implement that.
2025-06-13Add GCP telemetry script (#1033)Jerop Kipruto
Adds a script - `scripts/telemetry_gcp.js` - to simplify setting up a local OpenTelemetry collector that forwards data to Google Cloud. This is a follow up to the script for local telemetry `scripts/local_telemetry.js` added in #1015. This script automates downloading necessary binaries, configuring the collector, and updating workspace settings. Also includes `scripts/telemetry_utils.js` with shared helper functions for telemetry scripts. Will refactor `scripts/local_t elemetry.js` in next steps to use this shared functionality. Updates `docs/core/telemetry.md` to include: - A new "Quick Start" section - Detailed instructions for the new GCP automated script - Reorganization of existing sections for clarity #750 --- ``` โœจ Starting Local Telemetry Exporter for Google Cloud โœจ โš™๏ธ Enabled telemetry in workspace settings. ๐Ÿ”ง Set telemetry OTLP endpoint to http://localhost:4317. โœ… Workspace settings updated. โœ… Using Google Cloud Project ID: foo-bar ๐Ÿ”‘ Please ensure you are authenticated with Google Cloud: - Run `gcloud auth application-default login` OR ensure `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` environment variable points to a valid service account key. - The account needs "Cloud Trace Agent", "Monitoring Metric Writer", and "Logs Writer" roles. โœ… otelcol-contrib already exists at /Users/jerop/github/gemini-cli/.gemini/otel/bin/otelcol-contrib ๐Ÿงน Cleaning up old processes and logs... โœ… Deleted old GCP collector log. ๐Ÿ“„ Wrote OTEL collector config to /Users/jerop/github/gemini-cli/.gemini/otel/collector-gcp.yaml ๐Ÿš€ Starting OTEL collector for GCP...

2025-06-13Telemetry: Auto-export to GCP if GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT is set (#1003)Jerop Kipruto
This change simplifies telemetry setup for users who want to integrate with GCP, as they no longer need to configure a local collector or an explicit endpoint if their project is already set up in the environment. This change updates the telemetry system to automatically export traces, logs, and metrics to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) if the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` environment variable is set and no explicit `telemetryOtlpEndpoint` is configured by the user. Key changes: - The default `telemetryOtlpEndpoint` in `Config` is now an empty string. - The `initializeTelemetry` SDK logic now prioritizes: - User-defined `telemetryOtlpEndpoint`. - `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` for direct GCP export. - Console exporters as a fallback. - If an invalid `telemetryOtlpEndpoint` is provided, it falls back to console exporters with a warning. #750
2025-06-13Handle telemetry in non-interactive mode (#1002)Jerop Kipruto
Changes: - Ensure proper shutdown in non-interactive mode - Ensures the initial user prompt is logged in non-interactive mode - Improve telemetry for streaming - handle chunks and input token count is now alongside other token counts in response To test: - Follow instructions in https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/core/telemetry.md#google-cloud - Run CLI in non-interactive mode and observe logs/metrics in GCP Logs Explorer and Metrics Explorer #750
