How can I completely disable or uninstall x-pack in ELK stack version 6.7.

curl -XGET 'ip1:9200/\_nodes/\_all/version'

Regular ways as per blogs for uninstall or any other ways are resulting in issues.

X-pack is now bundled as part of the default distribution so can not be uninstalled. What you need to do is to instead download the oss distribution.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for the information.

How to install oss only distribution?  
Does existing installed application has any other workaround, like stopping or disabling the plugin?
