Grafana Server pinging Grafana.com

Grafana
1

Hey everyone,
I set up a Grafana server and saw, in my pihole, that the grafanahost tries to ping grafana.com every five minutes.
Why does it do that, and can I block it?

Thanks

Try changing the following settings in grafana.ini file to false:

[analytics]
# Server reporting, sends usage counters to stats.grafana.org every 24 hours.
# No ip addresses are being tracked, only simple counters to track
# running instances, dashboard and error counts. It is very helpful to us.
# Change this option to false to disable reporting.
reporting_enabled = true

# Set to false to disable all checks to https://grafana.com
# for new versions of grafana. The check is used
# in some UI views to notify that a grafana update exists.
# This option does not cause any auto updates, nor send any information
# only a GET request to https://grafana.com/api/grafana/versions/stable to get the latest version.
check_for_updates = true
