Kibana 5.2 Plugin Installs

[jc034240 (Jason)]

Centos7
Need to install from the local file system (not via git, etc).

From the kibana bin directory I ran the below command:
./kibana-plugin install file:///opt/kibana/kibana-plugin-gauge-sg-master.zip

And received error:
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

The file is owned by the kibana user.

./kibana-plugin install file:///opt/kibana/kibana-plugin-gauge-sg-master.zip -d /opt/kibana/plugins/gauge-sg

Creates the gauge-sg directory but still gives the error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

The structure of the plugin is very sensitive. The "plugin-helpers" project has been recently updated to agree with the sensitive structure. I'm not sure what version you are running in any case but it's worth checking out.
