Hi,

I am trying to install Kibana Vega based visualizations plugin on ubuntu offline. When I downloaded, it's a Zip file. I am not sure how to install zip file on ubuntu and what commands to use. Can someone please help me?

Thanks

Hi there, is this a third-party plugin? If so then you'll need to ask the plugin authors for help.

Thanks,

Hi CJ,

This is not a third party tool. I found this from https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/known-plugins.html

I am not sure how a Zip file can be installed correctly on Ubuntu.

Thanks

Hi, I'm sorry but this is a third-party plugin which we just linked to. I recommend you visit their GitHub project and create a new Issue there. I hope you're able to find an answer!

Thanks,
CJ

Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Optimizations failure.

@amruth not sure if you have solved the issue. See quick start on how to install and use Vega plugin. Make sure the version of the downloaded file from releases page matches your Kibana version. Use the bin/kibana-plugin installl file:///path/to/plugin.zip as suggested by @tatdat.
