I have following in my configuration

`xpack.fleet.agents.enabled: false`

but log on kibana shows this. why is it still does fleet setup. Am I missing something.

What version of the stack are you running?

I've added the key to a Kibana 8.5.0 on my local environment and even the Fleet menu entry is there, it shows a blank screen and no errors on the server log (not ideal in my opinion, but yet it is disabled indeed).
