Hi there

Is it possible to provision clusters on ECE with custom plugins?

Kind regards  
Adrian

Hi there,  
yes, there is a way to do this but for now, it is available via either API or advanced configuration (UI).

 ![Manage%20cluster%20%E2%80%93%20Elastic%20Cloud%202018-01-31%2010-15-03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/5/1/5188cc6d2a971f656d7bacb25ab9c18d44fde04c.png)

And then edit a JSON. Find `user_plugins`

```auto
"user_plugins": [
      {
        "name" : "my-test-cluster",
        "url": "url to your plugin",
        "elasticsearch_version": "must match version of cluster"
      }
    ]

```

To create a cluster with plugins via API you can start from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/create-es-cluster.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/create-es-cluster.html) and [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ElasticsearchConfiguration.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ElasticsearchConfiguration.html)
