.Plugin compatibility
==============================================
2020-11-19 16:44:17 +01:00
The {kib} plugin interfaces are in a state of constant development. We cannot provide backwards compatibility for plugins due to the high rate of change. {kib} enforces that the installed plugins match the version of {kib}.
Plugin developers must release a new version of their plugin for each new {kib} release.

== Known plugins
The known plugins were tested for {kib} *5.x*, so we are unable to guarantee compatibility with your version of {kib}. The {kib} installer rejects any plugins that haven't been published for your specific version of {kib}.
We are unable to evaluate or maintain the known plugins, so care should be taken before installation.

2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
== Install plugins
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
Use the following command to install a plugin:
[source,shell]
2016-04-05 01:38:09 +02:00
bin/kibana-plugin install <package name or URL>
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
2016-10-25 03:41:32 +02:00
When you specify a plugin name without a URL, the plugin tool attempts to download an official Elastic plugin, such as:
["source","shell",subs="attributes"]
$ bin/kibana-plugin install x-pack

=== Install plugins from an arbitrary URL
2015-09-17 02:21:46 +02:00
2016-10-27 19:28:53 +02:00
You can download official Elastic plugins simply by specifying their name. You
2020-05-11 22:20:03 +02:00
can alternatively specify a URL or file path to a specific plugin, as in the following
examples:
2015-09-17 02:21:46 +02:00
2016-09-08 16:13:03 +02:00
["source","shell",subs="attributes"]
2016-10-27 19:28:53 +02:00
$ bin/kibana-plugin install https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/packs/x-pack/x-pack-{version}.zip
2015-09-17 02:21:46 +02:00
2020-05-11 22:20:03 +02:00
or
["source","shell",subs="attributes"]
$ bin/kibana-plugin install file:///local/path/to/custom_plugin.zip
2015-09-19 00:24:30 +02:00
You can specify URLs that use the HTTP, HTTPS, or `file` protocols.

=== Proxy support for plugin installation
2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
{kib} supports plugin installation via a proxy. It uses the `http_proxy` and `https_proxy`
2017-07-26 09:35:00 +02:00
environment variables to detect a proxy for HTTP and HTTPS URLs.
It also respects the `no_proxy` environment variable to exclude specific URLs from proxying.
You can specify the environment variable directly when installing plugins:
[source,shell]
$ http_proxy="http://proxy.local:4242" bin/kibana-plugin install <package name or URL>

2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
== Update and remove plugins
2016-10-25 03:41:32 +02:00
To update a plugin, remove the current version and reinstall the plugin.
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
2016-10-25 03:41:32 +02:00
To remove a plugin, use the `remove` command, as in the following example:
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
[source,shell]
2016-10-25 03:41:32 +02:00
$ bin/kibana-plugin remove x-pack
2015-09-19 00:54:49 +02:00
2016-07-06 00:16:33 +02:00
You can also remove a plugin manually by deleting the plugin's subdirectory under the `plugins/` directory.
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
NOTE: Removing a plugin will result in an "optimize" run which will delay the next start of {kib}.

2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
== Configure the plugin manager
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
2016-07-06 00:16:33 +02:00
By default, the plugin manager provides you with feedback on the status of the activity you've asked the plugin manager
to perform. You can control the level of feedback for the `install` and `remove` commands with the `--quiet` and
`--silent` options. Use the `--quiet` option to suppress all non-error output. Use the `--silent` option to suppress all
2016-04-02 20:36:04 +02:00
output.
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
2016-04-02 20:36:04 +02:00
By default, plugin manager installation requests do not time out. Use the `--timeout` option, followed by a time, to
change this behavior, as in the following examples:
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
[source,shell]
.Waits for 30 seconds before failing
2016-07-06 00:16:33 +02:00
bin/kibana-plugin install --timeout 30s sample-plugin
2015-09-15 05:36:47 +02:00
[source,shell]
.Waits for 1 minute before failing
2016-07-06 00:16:33 +02:00
bin/kibana-plugin install --timeout 1m sample-plugin

=== Plugins and custom {kib} configurations
2015-09-17 02:21:46 +02:00
2016-07-06 00:16:33 +02:00
Use the `-c` or `--config` options with the `install` and `remove` commands to specify the path to the configuration file
2019-10-07 21:29:46 +02:00
used to start {kib}. By default, {kib} uses the configuration file `config/kibana.yml`. When you change your installed
plugins, the `bin/kibana-plugin` command restarts the {kib} server. When you are using a customized configuration file,
2016-04-05 01:38:09 +02:00
you must specify the path to that configuration file each time you use the `bin/kibana-plugin` command.
