The above commands to get/set the policy require a complete server configuration file including database settings. A
minimal config to [control Headscale via remote CLI](../ref/remote-cli.md) is not sufficient. You may use `headscale
-c /path/to/config.yaml` to specify the path to an alternative configuration file.
## How can I avoid to send logs to Tailscale Inc?
A Tailscale client [collects logs about its operation and connection attempts with other
clients](https://tailscale.com/kb/1011/log-mesh-traffic#client-logs) and sends them to a central log service operated by
Tailscale Inc.
Headscale, by default, instructs clients to disable log submission to the central log service. This configuration is
applied by a client once it successfully connected with Headscale. See the configuration option `logtail.enabled` in the
[configuration file](../ref/configuration.md) for details.
Alternatively, logging can also be disabled on the client side. This is independent of Headscale and opting out of
client logging disables log submission early during client startup. The configuration is operating system specific and
is usually achieved by setting the environment variable `TS_NO_LOGS_NO_SUPPORT=true` or by passing the flag
`--no-logs-no-support` to `tailscaled`. See
<https://tailscale.com/kb/1011/log-mesh-traffic#opting-out-of-client-logging> for details.
