Getting error when try to install kibana plugin

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I'm trying to install "opendistro_security_kibana_plugin-1.8.0.0.zip" package for kibana.

I tried to install with sudo :

sudo bin/kibana-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/kibana-plugins/opendistro-security/opendistro_security_kibana_plugin-1.8.0.0.zip

But I'm getting this error:

Kibana should not be run as root.  Use --allow-root to continue.

Then I try to install without sudo :

bin/kibana-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/kibana-plugins/opendistro-security/opendistro_security_kibana_plugin-1.8.0.0.zip

Now, I'm getting this error:

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir"

I also try this two command :

  1. su -s /bin/bash -c 'bin/kibana-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/kibana-plugins/opendistro-security/opendistro_security_kibana_plugin-1.8.0.0.zip'
  2. service kibana start 'bin/kibana-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/kibana-plugins/opendistro-security/opendistro_security_kibana_plugin-1.8.0.0.zip'

But still installation is unsuccessful.

What is the solution?

2

What version of Kibana are you running, and what distribution?

3

Kibana 7.7.0 and ubuntu 18.04 lts

4

Default or OSS Elasticsearch and Kibana?

5

It is default. I used this command for installation:
sudo apt-get install elasticsearch=7.7.0 && sudo apt-get install kibana=7.7.0

6

I tried with debian also but facing the same problem.

7

Then you get free security controls in there, you don't need to install this plugin.

8

I already use x-pack security. But I need Multitenancy feature. That's why I'm trying to install open distro. Please suggest me any solution so that I can use Multitenancy.

9

What do you mean by multitenancy?

10

Multi tenant is a feature that allow multiple user to access their own data only. I can do this with x-pack but in x-pack a user can see other user's index name.
