Hello,  
I am currently using Kibana version 6.8.3. There are few unwanted tabs/plugins that I don't want to be shown on the side menu. Is there any method to turn them off.

The official docs say to execute the following command:

`./bin/kibana --<plugin ID>.enabled=false`

You can find a plugin’s plugin ID as the value of the `name` property in the plugin’s `package.json` file.

I could not find the plugin's package.json file.  
Please help.

**SOLUTION**  
add the following lines in your `kibana.yml` file to disable the corresponding plugins:

> xpack.monitoring.ui.enabled: false  
> xpack.graph.enabled: false  
> xpack.infra.enabled: false  
> xpack.canvas.enabled: false  
> xpack.ml.enabled: false  
> xpack.uptime.enabled: false  
> xpack.maps.enabled: false  
> xpack.apm.enabled: false  
> timelion.enabled: false

For newer versions of Kibana you don't need the xpack prefix for the settings.
