Same issue as described in this topic [Disable Kibana Upgrade Assistant (5.6)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/disable-kibana-upgrade-assistant-5-6/152324)

I am looking for a way to disable the upgrade assistant to elasticsearch 7 (for now).

In the other post it was recommended to set the setting `xpack.upgrade.enabled: false` , this however does not seem to work anymore.

`FATAL Error: "xpack.upgrade.enabled" setting was not applied. Check for spelling errors and ensure that expected plugins are installed.`

Also tried `xpack.upgrade_assistant.enabled: false` with same outcome.

Is there a way to achieve this with Kibana 6.6.1?

Cheers and thanks in advance

I've confirmed this is a bug that is fixed in 7.x but was not fixed in 6.x. I'll work on getting this fixed in a future 6.7.x release.
