ES fails to load plugin - what am I missing?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to do a back up to S3. I'm running ES "version" : "1.1.1",
"build" : "f1585f0" and I have tried to install the plugin on all the nodes

bin/plugin -install elasticsearch/elasticsearch-cloud-aws/2.1.1

which appeared to work (no errors) and I restarted all of the nodes. but
it did not work - when I try to create a snapshot using "type": "s3" I get
an error:

NoClassSettingsException[failed to load class with value [s3];

And when I do the _nodes query it shows (among many other things):

"plugins" : [ ]

So I tried to install the elasticsearch-cloud-aws/2.1.1 plugin again and I
get an error saying that directory exists and I should uninstall if I want
to update. So what did I miss? Why is this lot loading - there is nothing
in the error logs at all.

Thanks for any help,
Frank

OK - never mind ---

/etc/init.d/elasticsearch restart didn't really restart it. Got it really
restarted and the plugin shows up.

Hey,

glad you solved it. Just for future reference: you can use the nodes info
API to see your installed plugins like this:
http://localhost:9200/_nodes/plugins

If you have further problems with restarted using the init script, which is
packaged with ES, dont hesitate to create an issue!
