I'm trying to install bulk but get this error.

plugin install -v bulk
-> Installing bulk...
Trying https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/bulk/2.3.1/bulk-2.3.1.zip ...

What is the bulk plugin?

#3

is a plugin needed to use in log4j2 lib

#4

_bulk is an API endpoint that exists in ES by default.

You can't just call _bulk like that, see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/2.3/docs-bulk.html

Dear @jonas.lima if you have questions about my plugin, you can also open an issue at github https://github.com/jprante/log4j2-elasticsearch-http/issues

There is no "bulk plugin" required, the error you get is expected, because _bulk endpoint of Elasticsearch does not accept HTTP GET method. The message No feature for... is misleading.
