Hello Wonderful people!

I am using hosted elasticsearch + kibana from hosted [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) cloud service.

It's working great so far but I need to be able to 'live tail' my logs. [I found a plugin](https://github.com/sivasamyk/logtrail) that can do this but I am not sure how I can install it.

**Since I don't have access to the underlying server/terminal how can I install kibana plugins if I am on elastic cloud?**

Please advise

Hello!

Your best bet will be to run this by our cloud team. It's a slightly different process then the discuss forum as you have to open a support ticket but that's perfectly fine for questions such as this. Log in to your cloud user console and click the help button. You can submit a ticket from there.

Regards,  
Aaron

Hello @Aaron_Caldwell

I created a support ticket already but I've been asked to upgrade my subscription to get help.  
That's why I am here...

**Please advise if you have any idea on how to install plugins on elastic cloud hosted kibana** because I cannot find any documentation about it.

As far as I know you can not install custom Kibana plugins in Elastic Cloud. Kibana does however have a [Logs UI](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/logs-ui.html#logs-stream) which supports tailing of logs. Would this meet your needs?
