I am using following docker-compose.yml file to disable the monitoring on ELK stack. I have removed the lines for kibana intentionally because kibana was crashing continuously if I add the monitoring parameter in it also.

```auto
version: '3'
services:
  elasticsearch:
    image: docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:6.2.4
    container_name: elasticsearch
    environment:
      - "discovery.type=single-node"
      - "xpack.security.enabled=false"
      - "XPACK_MONITORING_ENABLED=false"
    volumes:
      - esdata:/usr/share/elasticsearch/data:rw
    ports:
      - 9200:9200
    networks:
      - elk
    restart: unless-stopped
  kibana:
    depends_on:
    - elasticsearch
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:6.2.4
    networks:
      - elk
    ports:
      - 5601:5601
    restart: unless-stopped
  logstash:
    image: ervikrant06/logstashbpimage1:6.2.4
    depends_on:
      - elasticsearch
    networks:
      - elk
    environment:
      - "xpack.security.enabled=false"
      - "INPUT1=/var/tmp/log"
      - "XPACK_MONITORING_ENABLED=false"
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /tmp/logstash/:/var/tmp/log
volumes:
  esdata:
    driver: local
networks:
  elk:

```

Anyone knows how to disable the monitoring completely in ELK stack?

The easiest way is to use 6.3.0 which does not have monitoring on by default.

The setting name is xpack.monitoring.enabled otherwise.
