The `agent.monitoring.pprof` option controls whether the {agent} exposes the

The `agent.monitoring.pprof` option controls whether the {agent} and {beats} expose the
`/debug/pprof/` endpoints with the monitoring endpoints. It is set to `false`
by default. Data produced by these endpoints can be useful for debugging but present a

is accessible over a network.
