Plugin install command

[rashidkpc]

• Download from elastic
• Download from github

Kibana plugins will allow you to add features and new applications to kibana. This should work identically to the elasticsearch plugin system, with the exception that bin/kibana will serve as the command, instead of bin/plugin. Pretty much its sole purpose is to copy things into the plugins directory.

Most of the following is copied nearly wholesale from:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-plugins.html

Installing plugins can either be done manually by placing them under the plugins directory, or using the plugin script. Several plugins can be found under the elasticsearch organization in GitHub, starting with elasticsearch-.

Download.elastic.co

Installing plugins typically take the following form:

./bin/kibana plugin --install <org>/<package>/<version>

or for example

./bin/kibana plugin -i elasticsearch/marvel-ui/latest

The plugins will be automatically downloaded in this case from download.elastic.co

Github

We should also support installing plugins from github. In this case the user will always get the latest version

./bin/kibana plugin --install rashidkpc/kibana-slideshow

Removal

Should fully remove the plugin, config and all. You remove it, its gone

./bin/kibana plugin --remove rashidkpc/kibana-slideshow

Verbosity

The default mode should provide the user with feedback on the status of the plugin install. The user should be able to pass --silent to keep that quiet.

Timeouts

# Wait for 30 seconds before failing
./bin/kibana plugin --install rashidkpc/kibana-slideshow --timeout 30s

# Wait for 1 minute before failing/
./bin/kibana plugin --install rashidkpc/kibana-slideshow --timeout 1m

# Wait forever (default)
./bin/kibana plugin --install rashidkpc/kibana-slideshow --timeout 0

Exit codes

• 0: everything was OK
• 64: unknown command or incorrect option parameter
• 74: IO error
• 70: other errors

I need install pluggin from local directory. Any idea???

[palecur]

From the documentation (
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-plugins.html):

"You can also install a plugin manually by moving the plugin file to the
installedPlugins directory and unpacking the plugin files into a new
directory."

Please use our discussion forums (https://discuss.elastic.co/) for support
questions, instead of Github issues.
