Dear all, I'm trying to setup elasticsearch monitoring cluster. So this part is kinda crucial :-). I'm getting the following error when I'm trying to install the plugin. I search google and found a lot about this, but nothing of what I found matched or fixed my problem. I tried to download the file for offline installation and tried the online installation. Notice: I'm installing it with puppet with the official elasticsearch module.I tried the methods also manually which didn't work either.

You are using the Kibana plugin, you need the `marvel-agent-blah` file. See [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html#offline-installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html#offline-installation) ---
