Hi,

I use basic license of xpack.  
Currently I am trying to get familar with docker.

I would like to use the monitoring plugin of logstash to ship it's data to ES.  
But since I am only using basic license, I need to disable the security feature in LS, Kibana and ES.

What is the most common / practical way to do so?  
Mount the configuration yml from outside to the container?

Thanks, Andreas

Yes, mount an external configuration and set `xpack.security.enabled: false`
