Grok Telemetry Toggles and Configuration Priority
Promptmethus · x · 2026-07-14
The post outlines Grok's configuration and telemetry behaviors:
- You can disable trace/session and repository-state uploads in /.grok/config.toml by setting traceupload = false and traceuploads = false.
- disablecodebaseupload = true turns off codebase uploads, while telemetry = false serves as a product-level telemetry kill switch.
- The cited content also notes that Grok's remote settings take precedence over the local config.toml. Furthermore, uploads stopping isn't necessarily due to an explicit user opt-out; the cloud might have simply toggled the feature off.
