I'm looking for a way to disable the upgrade assistant in Kibana 5.6, is that possible? I don't want my Kibana users to mess with my indices, I was able to deactivate the console but not the assistant. Thanks ---

Makes sense. Does `xpack.upgrade.enabled: false` work for you? ---

Works great, thanks, you are saving me! Couldn’t find anything in the documentation though. ---
