It’s part of the bootstrap process; add --json-attributes to your knife command along with the a string of json to be passed as attributes.

knife bootstrap --json-attributes ‘{“nginx”: {“whatever”: false} }’

As long as your bootstrap template includes logic[0] to write that to the remote filesystem and call chef-client with -j the attributes will be applied. Avoid using “override” in your json attributes unless you absolutely need it.
