Hi,

i have here a usecase description

Maybe its a documentation issue, but i have the feeling, that the variables doesnt fit for this usecase. I cant say, what i want to "DROP", but i can say, what i want explicitly to "EXPORT" in our company.

I need a different paradigm to convince my boss, that pipeline monitoring with this tool is a good idea. First i want to start with one project no env-variables, less attributes, logs ect. and if we understand the security&performance impact, than slowly grow (same process we have done with the NR-Agents). At start maybe a "GLAB_EXPORT_ENVS"-variable is a good idea, so that i can set it to FALSE prevent transfer of any global/group/project-ENVs to new relic.

You should now be able to set GLAB_LOW_DATA_MODE and only export the bear minimum information to NR https://github.com/newrelic-experimental/gitlab/releases/tag/1.0.1
