= About Telemetry

[role="_abstract"]
Telemetry sends a carefully chosen subset of the cluster monitoring metrics to Red{nbsp}Hat. The Telemeter Client fetches the metrics values every four minutes and thirty seconds and uploads the data to Red{nbsp}Hat. These metrics are described in this document.

This stream of data is used by Red{nbsp}Hat to monitor the clusters in real-time and to react as necessary to problems that impact our customers. Red{nbsp}Hat can use the streamed data to roll out {product-title} upgrades to customers to minimize service impact and continuously improve the upgrade experience.

This debugging information is available to Red{nbsp}Hat Support and Engineering teams with the same restrictions as accessing data reported through support cases. All connected cluster information is used by Red{nbsp}Hat to help make {product-title} better and more intuitive to use.
