Hi,

I'm trying to use [this](https://github.com/raystorm-place/kibana-html-plugin) plugin to execute some scripts from within Kibana, something like [this](https://gist.github.com/Zorkin/739320). But it's not working. Does Kibana allow the execution of scripts or this is a problem in the plugin?

I'd say it is a plugin issue.  
KB is not designed to run HTML scripts, only ES ones.
