[Enhancement][OpenSearch Dashboards] Disable or remove plugins

[toby181]

Hi guys, I'm not sure whether this is actually feature request for the helm charts, might I need to post it in https://github.com/opensearch-project/OpenSearch-Dashboards(?). Any help is appreciated!

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

OpenSearch Dashboards comes with a lot of preinstalled plugins that we do not want to be available to users on production until they're tested or approved. With the current setup there seems to be no option to disable/remove the plugins nor to disallow users to see them.

Describe the solution you'd like

Some kind of option to either disable or delete a plugin via the values. Might in the opensearch_dashboards.yml.

Describe alternatives you've considered Might there's a way run a removal command like described in https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/install-dashboards/plugins/#remove-plugins.

Greetings, @toby181 , would you have a look at here, https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/install-and-configure/plugins/ and if that helps on removing the plugins that you don't want? Thanks!

Hey @jordarlu , thanks for the quick reply! Yep, I saw that but I'm running OpenSearch on Kubernetes and whenever the pod is re-created, the plugin would be back again.
