Hi,

I try to install Timeplion plugin with following command :

/opt/kibana/bin/kibana plugin --install /home/user/timelion-latest.tar.gz

Respond :

{"name":"Kibana","hostname":"NOLA-VII1029","pid":77877,"level":30,"msg":"Found kibana index","time":"2016-09-26T09:49:15.027Z","v":0}

Kibana version : 4.1.1  
Elasticsearch version : 1.7.1

Any idea ?

Regard,

I can not find a reference to it in the Timelion blog post, but from memory I recall Kibana 4.4 or later being required.

I think Timelion was released in November 2015 and with the 4.4.2 release of Kibana is available as a native visualisation once installed.

When i stop kibana service i have this repond :

{"name":"Kibana","hostname":"NOLA-VII1029.pims.ratp","pid":79328,"level":30,"msg":"Found kibana index","time":"2016-09-26T10:37:50.876Z","v":0}
