I am using Elasticsearch 7.1.1 and noticed that when I start it, a process controller.exe (part of Elasticsearch machine learning) is spawned automatically. How do I disable creation of this process since I do not use machine learning currently?

Disable machine learning process creation

I think this process only starts if ML is enabled (which it is by default). I think setting xpack.ml.enabled: false will disable it.

Kibana 8.4: How do disable ML , APM, or entire observability app?
