title: Is it possible to install only the profiling feature of Elasticsearch 6.8 X-Pack?
body: <p>My installation of Elasticsearch 6.8.22 does not include an installation of X-Pack because so far we have not needed any of its features.</p>
  <p>I am generating profiling data on queries, using the <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/_tune_your_queries_with_the_profile_api.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Profile API</a>,  but I want to use the <a href="https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.8/xpack-profiler.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Search Profiler UI</a> capabilities available in Kibana.  The documentation says that this is part of X-Pack.</p>
  <p>My questions are:</p>
  <ol>
  <li>Do I have to install all of X-Pack in order to use the Search
  Profiler UI, or is it possible to install only certain features?</li>
  <li>Do
  I have to install X-Pack on the entire Elasticsearch cluster where I
  am running the query in order to profile it?</li>
  <li>Can I isolate the
  X-Pack installation by creating a new separate Kibana installation
  on its own server and connecting to my cluster, or does the X-Pack
  installation need to be on one or more Elasticsearch servers in my
  cluster?</li>
  </ol>
