Search Guard, Elasticsearch, Kibana version : 5.4.3 Hi, is there an option to disable search guard kibana plugin as well? I want to enable/disable SG kibana plugin to investigate performance issues. I know there is for SG elasticsearch plugin which can be used as : `searchguard.disabled: true` ` ` I’ve tried this option at kibana.yml bu I got this error : FATAL { ValidationError: child “searchguard” fails because [“disabled” is not allowed] at Object.exports.process (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/errors.js:140:17) at internals.Any.\_validateWithOptions (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/any.js:649:25) at root.validate (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/index.js:102:23) at Config.\_commit (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:113:35) at Config.set (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:84:10) at Config.extendSchema (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:57:10) at /usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:19:12 at next (native) at step (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:49:191) at /usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:49:361 name: ‘ValidationError’, ---

Hi, to disable Search Guard Kibana plugin, you need to set searchguard.basicauth.enabled to false in your kibana.yml followed by a restart of Kibana. Thanks for your question, I hope this answer helps, regards, Urs. > **···** > > – > > Urs Armbruster > > Community Manager > > floragunn GmbH > > Tempelhofer Ufer 16 > > 10963 Berlin > > Amtsgericht Charlottenburg HRB 147010 > > USt-IdNr.: DE287373363 > > +++ like us on facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/searchguard](https://www.facebook.com/searchguard) > > +++ follow us on twitter: [https://twitter.com/searchguard](https://twitter.com/searchguard) > > On Wednesday, August 23, 2017 at 3:22:21 PM UTC+2, ayseyo wrote: > > > Search Guard, Elasticsearch, Kibana version : 5.4.3 > > > > > > Hi, is there an option to disable search guard kibana plugin as well? > > > I want to enable/disable SG kibana plugin to investigate performance issues. > > > > > > I know there is for SG elasticsearch plugin which can be used as : > > > `searchguard.disabled: true` > > > ` ` > > > I’ve tried this option at kibana.yml bu I got this error : > > > > > > FATAL { ValidationError: child “searchguard” fails because [“disabled” is not allowed] > > at Object.exports.process (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/errors.js:140:17) > > at internals.Any.\_validateWithOptions (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/any.js:649:25) > > at root.validate (/usr/share/kibana/node\_modules/joi/lib/index.js:102:23) > > at Config.\_commit (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:113:35) > > at Config.set (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:84:10) > > at Config.extendSchema (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/config/config.js:57:10) > > at /usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:19:12 > > at next (native) > > at step (/usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:49:191) > > at /usr/share/kibana/src/server/plugins/plugin\_collection.js:49:361 > > name: ‘ValidationError’, ---
