-## Disabling Extension
+## Extension Environment variables
+
+The New Relic Lambda Extension offers various features, which can be utilised by using the Lambda environment variables. These include:
+| Environment variable | Default value | Options | Description |
+|--------|-----------|-------------|-------------|
+|`NEW_RELIC_IGNORE_EXTENSION_CHECKS`| `false` | `all` , `agent`, `handler`, `sanity`, `vendor` | Ignore selected Extension Checks by using a comma-separated value, e.g., `agent,handler`, to ignore agent and handler checks. Use `all` to ignore all the Extension Checks as mentioned [here](#startup-checks). It is recommended to ignore all Extension checks after the lambda is successfully instrumented. |
+|`NEW_RELIC_DATA_COLLECTION_TIMEOUT`| `10s` | Time such as `5s`. Valid time units are "ms", "s"| Reduce time the Extension waits for sending telemetry.|
+|`NEW_RELIC_LAMBDA_EXTENSION_ENABLED`| `false` | `true` , `false` | Disable the Extension. It is enabled by default |
 
-The New Relic Lambda Extension is enabled by default. To disable it, after adding or
