Hello !! I need confgiure APM and Fleet on my ELK stakc instance.  
But I want to d thaht witout this  
"xpack.security.enabled: true

Hi Michal, welcome to the community!

I don't think it's possible to use Fleet without security enabled.

You can run the components with http and enroll fleet-server with the `--fleet-server-es-insecure` flag and agents with the `--insecure` flag, see examples here: [Troubleshoot common problems | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/8.12/fleet-troubleshooting.html)
