Install Timelion offline

Elastic Stack Kibana

Is there any way to install this kibana plugin offline?

It would be really useful for offline machines.

Thanks in advance

You could download the timelion archive manually from:

https://download.elastic.co/kibana/timelion/timelion-latest.tar.gz

And install it via:

./bin/kibana plugin -i timelion -u file://<path to local archive>

Note that this is not an official way to install timelion, and those exact steps might not work in the future.

Hello Bargs,

Error: Client request error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND download.elastic.co download.elastic.co:443
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Client request error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND download.elastic.co download.elastic.co:443"

Then, I tried you method and I got the following error:

Attempting to transfer from file://home/desktop/ELK/kibana-4.4.2-linux-x64/bin/timelion-latest.tar.gz

I finally managed to solve my problem. I just had to extract it to kibana/installedPlugins and then run kibana. It perfectlly works !

If your requirements don't force you to do an offline install I'd recommend trying to get the regular plugin install working. Based on the error you posted, it looks like you might be having DNS issues, so that's where I'd start investigating.
