You can also disable distributed execution for all new sessions:
> SET CLUSTER SETTING sql.defaults.distsql = 0;
Disable Automatic Diagnostic Reporting
You can opt out of automatic diagnostic reporting of usage data to Cockroach Labs using the following:
> SET CLUSTER SETTING diagnostics.reporting.enabled = false;
