Usage Ping configuration bug for self-managed instances

A recently identified configuration bug in self-managed GitLab instances impacted the ability to disable Usage Ping via text configuration files, leading to the unintended collection and transmission of Usage Ping events for versions 9.3 to 13.12.3, which was rectified in version 13.12.4. This issue does not affect users who disabled Usage Ping through the user interface or those using the SaaS version of GitLab. Users are advised to check their configurations to determine if they were affected and are encouraged to fill out a form if they suspect unintentional data sharing, allowing GitLab to purge the data and confirm the action. Additional details and instructions are available, and users can engage with GitLab's community forum for further questions and feedback.
