| # Disabling Telemetry |
| If you do not wish to participate in telemetry capture, one can opt-out with one of the following methods: |
| 1. Set it to false programmatically in your code before creating a Hamilton driver: |
| ```python |
| from hamilton import telemetry |
| telemetry.disable_telemetry() |
| ``` |
| 2. Set the key `telemetry_enabled` to `false` in ~/.hamilton.conf under the `DEFAULT` section: |
| ``` |
| [DEFAULT] |
| telemetry_enabled = False |
| ``` |
| 3. Set HAMILTON_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false as an environment variable. Either setting it for your shell session: |
| ```bash |
| export HAMILTON_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false |
| ``` |
| or passing it as part of the run command: |
| ```bash |
| HAMILTON_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false python NAME_OF_MY_DRIVER.py |
| ``` |
