In #77554 we migrated the legacy
/api/settings
route to anxpack_legacy
plugin in the new platform.This route exists for Metricbeat to use in the Kibana module, however the route itself is redundant because all of the information it contains can already be retrieved from
/api/stats
(which Metricbeat also integrates with).Metricbeat is planning to remove usage of this API in 8.0 in favor of
/api/stats
, so there is no need for us to keep the old/api/settings
route around (or thexpack_legacy
plugin it lives inside of).Currently this API is undocumented, and as far as we are aware is only used by Metricbeat.
