I installed the ingest-attachment plugin using bin\elasticsearch-plugin.bat
In Kibana, however, this plugin does not show up when issuing GET /\_cat/plugins
I'm wondering why. Also, I want to issue more commands using Kibana for ingesting documents, but I cannot since the plugin doesn't seem to be recognized as being installed.

I see this was covered by David Pilato in [Ingest attachment Plugin exception :](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/ingest-attachment-plugin-exception/69167)
The trick is to stop and then start the elasticsearch service.
