2.0rc-1 can't install Marvel

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Isn't Marvel available for the Release Candidate?
We like to use and test the 2.0 Release Candidate, but without Marvel we will wait ...

ERROR: Could not find plugin descriptor 'plugin-descriptor.properties' in plugin zip

Also: Are the docs already updated? It's also a requirement to go with a release candiate.

Thanks

We don't have an RC release for Marvel sorry, it'll be a GA directly with ES 2.0.

Having same issue. not able to install marvel plugin

If you are not using elasticsearch 2.0.0, that's expected.
Note that installing marvel is now different.

Read the marvel doc.

So you did not read the docs, did you?

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html

Your "current" elasticsearch doc install is not up to date : https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/_installing_elasticsearch.html

8

That's the Definitive Guide, not the official product docs.

That said we know there are some discrepancies and we're working on fixing those soon :smiley:

I operate according to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html

but there is no kibana under bin files . (bin/kibana plugin --install marvel --url file:///path/to/file/marvel-2.3.5.tar.gz )

what should I do?

10

Install Kibana probably.

11

why the "Getting Started of Installing Marvel on Offline Machines " don't say I should install Kibana first?

12

Well. In the link you provided, it's said

Marvel Installation Prerequisites

Marvel 2.3.5 requires:

  • Java 7 or later
  • Elasticsearch 2.3.5
  • Kibana 4.5.3

I guess it's pretty much obvious, no?
