* *Env:* `ELASTIC_APM_BREAKDOWN_METRICS`

Used to disable reporting of breakdown metrics which records self time spent in each unique type of span.

[[cloud-provider]]
==== `cloudProvider`
* *Type:* String
* *Default:* `auto`
* *Env:* `ELASTIC_APM_CLOUD_PROVIDER`

During startup the Node.js agent queries the local environment to determine whether the application is running in a cloud environment, and provides the agent with details about that environment. These details are called metadata, and will be sent to APM Server with other instrumented data. The `cloudProvider` configuration value allows you to control this behavior.

- `auto`: Automatically determine which cloud provider the agent is running on.
- `gcp`: Only query for Google Cloud Platform information.
- `aws`: Only query for Amazon Web Service information.
- `azure`: Only query for Azure information.
- `none`: Do not query for any cloud provider information.

If the value is not one of the five listed above, the agent will use the value of `auto`.
