Hi So I have been disabling some of the x-pack plugins in Kibana. Most of them work when disabling but when trying to do a similar thing with Grokdebugger , I get an error stating that Grokdebugger must be an object and my Kibana instance crashes. I am disabling it by the following in my kibana.yml: xpack.grokdebugger.enabled: false xpack.searchprofiler.enabled: false Any help would be much appreciated. ---

Hi, I just tested it in 6.x with this: xpack.grokdebugger.enabled:false in my kibana.yml and it works. Grok debugger disappears from dev tools. Can you please paste a screenshot of the error? The page on which you are seeing it? Are you seeing anything in the logs? Cheers, Bhavya ---
