Hi All, I have configured Signoz for tracing, but due to some use cases, I need to disable tracing for now. Is there any option to disable tracing from the UI itself, or do I need to make config changes in my deployment again?

There's similar instructions here <https://signoz.io/docs/userguide/drop-metrics/#disable-all-metrics|for metrics>, but the concepts / env-vars should have analogs for tracing.

You can either disable at the source (each app w/ instrumentation SDK) by setting the <https://stackoverflow.com/a/77834559|exporter to none>.

or change one of the <https://signoz.io/blog/opentelemetry-collector-complete-guide/|intermediate collectors> to use a <https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector/tree/main/exporter/nopexporter|nopexporter> for the traces pipeline.  Although I can't tell if that's available in the <https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz-otel-collector/tree/main/exporter|signoz-otel-collector> responsible for writing to Clickkhouse.
