Disable stack monitoring in Kibana

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello!
I have wanted to see what monitoring of stack was offerring. As I don't have metricbeat installed, I chose a self monitoring.
Now, I would like to revert this change and disable monitoring (because I'm afraid monitoring shards will be too important). In my cluster overview, I can enable the setup mode, but it only ofer me to switch to metricbeat, I didn't fine anyway to disable monitoring:

You can use the following API call to disable the stack monitoring collection.

#set to false

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled": false
  }
}

#or you can set the default (false) with the following API call. (recommended)

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled": null
  },
  "transient": {
    "xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled": null
  }
}

#check if it's disabled

GET _cluster/settings?include_defaults&filter_path=defaults.xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled

By default, Elasticsearch monitoring features are enabled but data collection is disabled. To enable/disable data collection, use the xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled setting.
