How to disable reporting during each chef-client run

on the chef server we do not have reporting enabled. so we do not want each client to spend time and error out trying to send reporting data.

Add:

enable_reporting false

to your /etc/chef/client.rb or whichever config file you’re using.

https://github.com/chef/chef/blob/master/chef-config/lib/chef-config/config.rb contains the possible configuration options for the chef client.
