Hi
The Kibana plugin interfaces are in a state of constant development. We cannot provide backwards compatibility for plugins due to the high rate of change. Kibana enforces that the installed plugins match the version of Kibana itself. Plugin developers will have to release a new version of their plugin for each new Kibana release as a result.Here is a good guide for Kibana Plugin development:
The contributing guide is a good starting point.Some more resources are listed here: Kibana plugin development resources
After you get Kibana up and running, you can run node ./scripts/generate_plugin.js awesome-plugin to generate the required boilerplate for a new plugin.
I would also suggest you to open up a github ticket to dig deeper.
Thanks
Rashmi
