Hi, I am looking for a way to disable this message. I don´t know how to get rid of it. I would accept the message, but it appears every time I login again. ---

Hi @logger, You need to click on **Opt out here** and dismiss the message again. Grtz ---

Thanks, will it appear also for other Users, or will it be system wide after that. So if I dismiss it will my colleague also have to dismiss it? ---

Each time when i open Kibana in incognito mode on Chrome i see the X-Pack message. So i think this is stored in a cookie when you opt out the message. ---

Hi @logger, you should be able to persist your choice by setting the [Kibana x-pack setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/monitoring-settings.html#monitoring-ui-settings) `xpack.monitoring.report_stats`. ---

Ok, I also tried incognito mode. Same message. @weltenwort thanks but... how can we do this if we are in the elastic-cloud. I don´t think we have access to the kibana.yml. It worked for my local installation . ---

You are right, there seems to be no way to configure that in Elastic Cloud right now. ---
