Hello, I'm using AppSearch just as a proxy between Elasticsearch and my API. I use all the search features, but I'm not interested in the analytics, search history, etc. I assume that those analytics data are being stored in some indexes in ES, and that's computer power and storage I'd like to use in other things. In fact, when doing just search operations, I see in kibana that ES is making some indexing work Is there any way to disable completely the generation and storage of those metrics? ---

Hi Gabriel, There isn't yet, but being able to disable analytics data is on our roadmap. Stay tuned! Thanks for your question, Nick ---
