# Telemetry
The Serf agent collects various metrics data at runtime about the performance
of different libraries and sub-systems. These metrics are aggregated on a ten second
interval and are retained for one minute.
To view the telemetry information, you must send a `USR1` signal to the Serf
process. Windows users must use the `BREAK` signal instead.
Once Serf receives the signal, it will dump the current telemetry
information to the stderr of the agent.
In general, the telemetry information is used for debugging or otherwise
getting a better view into what Serf is doing.
Below is an example output:
