# Disable development features

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. [InfluxDB 3 Core](/influxdb3/core/) is the latest stable version.

#### API token hashing is enabled by default in InfluxDB OSS 2.9.0

Stronger token security: tokens are stored as hashes on disk, so a copy of the database file doesn’t expose usable tokens. Existing tokens are hashed on first startup and the original strings can’t be recovered afterward — **capture any plaintext tokens you still need before you upgrade**.

For more information, see [Token hashing](/influxdb/v2/admin/tokens/#token-hashing).

By default, InfluxDB 2.9 enables useful functionality that exposes some level of information about your instance. Two of these are endpoints for observability of the health and activity of your instance. The third is the bundled UI. Depending on your site requirements, you may want to disable one or more of these when running InfluxDB in production. To disable, use the following configuration options:

-   [Disable /debug/pprof](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/#pprof-disabled). This endpoint provides runtime profiling data.
-   [Disable /metrics](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/#metrics-disabled). This endpoint exposes [internal InfluxDB metrics](/influxdb/v2/reference/internals/metrics/).
-   [Disable UI](/influxdb/v2/reference/config-options/#ui-disabled). The user interface for InfluxDB.
