GitHub lets enterprises centrally manage Copilot telemetry routing
GitHub added a control on July 8 that lets enterprises mandate where Copilot Chat and CLI send OpenTelemetry data, overriding individual developer settings. The setting is delivered via a telemetry block in enterprise-managed settings, with managed values taking precedence over environment variables and user settings. The changelog notes that managed exporter headers apply only to the Copilot Chat extension, not the CLI agent host.

This is a welcome control for platform teams, but the asymmetry between Chat and CLI telemetry handling could trip up on-call engineers if not documented clearly.
