Elasticsearch Docker internal indexes

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

The Elasticsearch Docker container (https://hub.docker.com/_/elasticsearch/) generates specific indexes like:
.watches
.triggered_watches
.monitoring-alerts-6
.watcher-history-6-[date] ( .watcher-history-6-2018.12.11, .watcher-history-6-2018.12.12...)
.monitoring-es-6-[date] (.monitoring-es-6--2018.12.11, .monitoring-es-6-2018.12.12...)

On a non-docker installation they weren't generated. How is possible to avoid them?

You can disable monitoring and alerting features if you don't want to use them.

Thanks! It seems the following setup disables monitoring:

  elasticsearch:
    ...
      environment:
      - xpack.monitoring.enabled=false
