    ############################################################
    #
    # Configuration of command tool availability in the Event 
    # Viewer.
    #
    # eventviewer.tools.command
    #
    # This setting is used to enable or disable command tools in 
    # Event Viewer. Command tools are used to run commands on the 
    # client user's operating system, and this requires the use 
    # of a web browserpplugin. Valid options are:
    #
    # true: Command tools will be enabled in Event Viewer. Any 
    # command tools which are included in the menu definition will 
    # be visible, and if chosen will be executed using a browser 
    # plugin. 
    #
    # false: Command tools will be disabled in Event Viewer. Any 
    # command tools which are included in the menu definition will 
    # not be visible, and hence no browser plugin will be loaded 
    # or used by Event Viewer. 
    #
    # Default value: false
    #
    ############################################################
    eventviewer.tools.command:false

What to do next

Restart the Dashboard Application Services Hub server. The next time you bring up the tools menu in Event Viewer your specified option will be used. If set to none, the command tools will no longer appear on the Event Viewer tools menu.
