| `xpack.spaces.enabled`
  | Set to `true` (default) to enable Spaces in {kib}.
    This setting is deprecated. Starting in 8.0, it will not be possible to disable this plugin.

| `xpack.spaces.maxSpaces`
  | The maximum amount of Spaces that can be used with this instance of {kib}. Some operations
  in {kib} return all spaces using a single `_search` from {es}, so this must be
  set lower than the `index.max_result_window` in {es}.
  Defaults to `1000`.
