To enable copilot metrics collection, the "Copilot usage metrics" policy must be set to Enabled everywhere for the enterprise.

Access: https://github.com/enterprises/<YOUR-GITHUB-ENTERPRISE-NAME>/ai-controls/copilot

Configuration steps:

  1. In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture
  2. Go to settings
  3. Click Enterprises, then select your enterprise
  4. At the top of the page, click AI Controls
  5. In the sidebar, click Copilot to view Copilot policies
  6. Configure Copilot usage metrics: Enabled everywhere policy

For Organizations (Copilot Business or Copilot Enterprise):

To enable Copilot metrics collection, the "Copilot usage metrics" policy must be enabled at the organization level.

Access: https://github.com/organizations/<YOUR-GITHUB-ORG-NAME>/settings/copilot/policies

Configuration steps:

  1. In the top-right corner of GitHub, click your profile picture
  2. Click Your organizations, then select your organization

Step 2 — Grant Access for Usage Metrics to DevDynamics GitHub App​

Ensure the DevDynamics GitHub App has the following permissions for usage metrics collection.

Enterprise Copilot Metrics:

Grant access for Enterprise Copilot Metrics

Organization Copilot Metrics:

Grant access for Organization Copilot Metrics

For GitHub Server, allow the following scopes/permissions for the access token:

  • manage_billing:copilot or read:enterprise
  • read:org

Step 3 — Ensure Telemetry is Enabled for Users​

Copilot usage data is collected via IDE telemetry. If a developer has telemetry disabled, their activity won't appear in DevDynamics.

Configuration by IDE:

  • VS Code: File → Preferences → Settings, search for telemetry, and ensure telemetry.telemetryLevel is set to all
  • JetBrains / IntelliJ: Go to Settings → Tools → GitHub Copilot and confirm the plugin is active. Telemetry is on by default
  • Other IDEs (Xcode, Eclipse, Visual Studio): Telemetry is enabled by default

Note: Ensure developers are running the latest version of both their IDE and the Copilot plugin.
