Kibana-plugin.bat install doesn't work in 6.3.0 version

[asallemi]

Hi,

I would like to install a new kibana plugin using this command kibana-plugin.bat install
C:\Users\asallemi\Desktop\Elastic stack\kibana-6.3.0\bin>kibana-plugin.bat install file:///C:/analyze-api-ui-plugin.zip

This is the result:

'WHERE' n'est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne
ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.
Attempting to transfer from file:///C:/analyze-api-ui-plugin.zip
Transferring 1492908 bytes....................
Transfer complete
Retrieving metadata from plugin archive
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

NW: I downloaded the plugin with version 6.3.0 and my Kibana instance is 6.3.0 version too.

What does that mean No kibana plugins found in archive ? Any help ?

I was able to install this on Windows successfully

I suspect the zip file you are providing is either incorrect, or corrupt.

Can you try referencing it from Github directly?

bin/kibana-plugin.bat install https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin/releases/download/6.3.0/analyze-api-ui-plugin-6.3.0.zip

I am behind a proxy, because that I tried to clone the plugin and used the command kibana-plugin.bat install file:///.... I copied the project into KIBANA_HOME/plugins and it works ! What does that mean No kibana plugins found in archive ?

It's okay. I find the solution. I have to put the plugin inside a folder with name kibana, zip it and use the command

If you are building it locally, from the git repository, you can do so by running yarn build. That will produce the desired plugin archive. Alternatively, you could download the zip from the releases tab, which is https://github.com/johtani/analyze-api-ui-plugin/releases/download/6.3.0/analyze-api-ui-plugin-6.3.0.zip
