 * `LUMIGO_REPORT_DEPENDENCIES=false`: This option disables the built-in dependency reporting to Lumigo SaaS. For more information, refer to the [Automated dependency reporting](#automated-dependency-reporting) section.
 * `LUMIGO_SWITCH_OFF=TRUE`: This option disables the Lumigo OpenTelemetry Distro entirely; no instrumentation will be injected, no tracing data will be collected.
 * `LUMIGO_AUTO_FILTER_EMPTY_SQS`: This option enables the automatic filtering of empty SQS messages from being sent to Lumigo SaaS. For more information, refer to the [Filtering out empty SQS messages](#filtering-out-empty-sqs-messages) section.
+* `LUMIGO_DISABLE_PG_INSTRUMENTATION=true`: This option disables the automatic instrumentation of [postgres](https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg).
+* `LUMIGO_DISABLE_NEST_INSTRUMENTATION=true`: This option disables the automatic instrumentation of [@nestjs/core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@nestjs/core).
 * `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX='["regex1", "regex2"]'`: Prevents Lumigo from sending keys that match the supplied regular expressions in process environment data, HTTP headers, payloads and queries. All regular expressions are case-insensitive. The "magic" value `all` will redact everything. By default, Lumigo applies the following regular expressions: `[".*pass.*", ".*key.*", ".*secret.*", ".*credential.*", ".*passphrase.*"]`. More fine-grained settings can be applied via the following environment variables, which will override `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX` for a specific type of data:
   * `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_REQUEST_BODIES` applies secret redaction to HTTP request bodies
   * `LUMIGO_SECRET_MASKING_REGEX_HTTP_REQUEST_HEADERS` applies secret redaction to HTTP request headers
