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. server log [15:25:59.027] [error][status][plugin:xpack\_main@8.0.0] Status changed from yellow to red - This version of Kibana requires Elasticsearch v8.0.0 on all nodes.

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](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? Peter Gervais 25 Fraser Street , PO Box 21 St Andrews West K0C 2A0 613-938-6549 ---

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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/development-plugin-resources.html) ```auto 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](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#branching) ---

Wylie 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. Peter Gervais 25 Fraser Street , PO Box 21 St Andrews West K0C 2A0 613-938-6549 ---
