I'm building a plugin the runs in an es/kibana oss container. I can't figure out how to completely disable xpack in my development server for accurate testing.

I've tried adding the following to the kibana.yml, but it still seems to be making a call to `api/xpack/v1/info`. Which doesn't get called in the oss images.

```auto
xpack.apm.enabled: false
xpack.graph.enabled: false
xpack.grokdebugger.enabled: false
xpack.ml.enabled: false
xpack.monitoring.enabled: false
xpack.reporting.enabled: false
xpack.searchprofiler.enabled: false
xpack.security.enabled: false
xpack.xpack_main.telemetry.enabled: false

```

Please advise if there is a better way of accomplishing getting my dev environment to a more equivalent state of the kibana oss images.

Currently running v6.5.4

Hey @ENG618,

The easiest way is to run Kibana in OSS mode for development is to use  
`node ./scripts/kibana --oss --dev`

thanks

For others too was also able to pass this into starting the plugin with the standard plugin helper. i.e. from the plugin dir `yarn start --oss`
