For some customer facing deployments, we would like to include xpack, but not show the dev tools tabs.

Without xpack, the following kibana property properly hides the dev tools tab:

```
console.enabled: false

```

But once xpack is present, the search profiler is added to dev tools and causes the tab to reappear in Kibana. Is there a way to disable it in the same way that the console can be disabled?

Hi Emilie, you can set this property in your config to disable Search Profiler too:

```
xpack.searchprofiler.enabled: false

```

This will hide the Dev Tools tab again.

Thanks,  
CJ
