Hi, currently I have Kibana 7.10.0 ,I am trying to install logtrail plugin.I have followed documentation and changed Kibana version inside package.json correctly zipped again but when I install it throws following error.

```auto
Attempting to transfer from file:///tmp/logtrail/build/logtrail-0.1.31.zip
Transferring 7388992 bytes....................
Transfer complete
Retrieving metadata from plugin archive
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"

```

First I tried zip file under releases section of logtrail then I even build it from source with yarn.But no luck same error pops up.

zip folder structure is like following:

```auto
logtrail-0.1.31.zip
  kibana/
  └── logtrail
      ├── index.js
      ├── logtrail.json
      ├── node_modules
      ├── package.json
      ├── package-lock.json
      ├── public
      ├── server

```

Even tried other plugins but it throws same error.Example:  
bin/kibana-plugin install [https://github.com/pjhampton/kibana-prometheus-exporter/releases/download/7.10.0/kibana-prometheus-exporter-7.10.0.zip](https://github.com/pjhampton/kibana-prometheus-exporter/releases/download/7.10.0/kibana-prometheus-exporter-7.10.0.zip)

Any Ideas? what can be reason?

It's probably related to this part of the release notes from 7.10.0;

> Platform
> 
> - The legacy plugin system and the legacy plugin API have been removed. It is no longer possible to use third parties legacy Kibana plugins. Legacy plugin owners should migrate their plugins to the Kibana Platform plugin API [#77599](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/pull/77599)

As already mentioned in the thread: the plugin must migrate to the [Kibana platform architecture](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-a-new-architecture-for-kibana). There is a [migration guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/migrating-legacy-plugins.html) with [examples](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.10/migrating-legacy-plugins-examples.html)
