Kibana Plugins require Elasticsearch version 8.0.0?

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

I'm trying to writ a kibana plugin.

When i start the kibana , i get the following startup messages.
Why is it asking for elasticsearch version 8.0.0 when we dont even have this version yet?
I'm working with version 7.3.1.

It looks like you might be running Kibana from source on the master branch, instead of running Kibana from one of our packaged builds. You can see the packaged builds here: https://www.elastic.co/downloads/past-releases#kibana

How can I develop a plugin without using kibana source code.? Can it be done from a packaged builds?

The same process as developing directly from source: download the packaged build, add a sibling folder named kibana-extra for your plugin, and it will get picked up by our build system. The kibana build system is currently part of the packaged builds.

Wylie,
In order to generate a plugin template, the documentation states: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html

node scripts/generate_plugin my_plugin_name # replace "my_plugin_name" with your

When you download and use a prebuilt build, there is no scripts directory.

Therefore, have no choice but to extract source from github only to get scripts directory .

Why is this folder not included in a prebuilt build?

I haven't developed a custom plugin like this, but you may be right that the instructions here are optimized for working with the source directly.

If that's the case, then you should be working from the source on the correct branch: https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#branching

Actually the best way to develop a plugin as I found out is simply copy someone else working plugin as a starting point. Sine the online docs in this area are seriously lacking the best is to get a working example.
