Force hide settings button from bar and disable save option in Kibana 4

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hello,

While using the Packetbeat demo I noticed that the settings option is not shown and the save button is partially disabled.
How can I do this?

All the best,
Fernando

Hi,

To remove the settings from the top bar, we simply removed the plugins/settings/index from the bundled_plugin_ids list in your kibana.yml. Hat tip to @warkolm for the suggestion.

To disable saving we use Shield to make Elasticsearch read-only for anonymous users.

Hi again, I just found out that removing bundled plugins is not recommended by the Kibana team because there are lots of interdependencies between those and it's not guaranteed to work. It's likely that the next Kibana version won't offer this option, so it might not be a good idea after all.

Hi,

Indeed, ideally you would like to have a separate interface for users and
other for admin. Hopefully this would be included in the next Kibana
release.

Thank you for your prompt feedback.

All the best,
