After installing marvel-agent (default settings) and going to `<host>:9200/_plugin/marvel-agent/` just gives me a blank page. It's the same response when entering any other made up url, e.g.: `<host>:9200/_plugin/something-non-existing/`

I've checked the plugin is installed, and ES is actually reporting back that it's installed. Doing: `<host>:9200/_nodes?plugin=true` shows:

plugins: [  
{  
name: "head",  
version: "master",  
description: "head - A web front end for an elastic search cluster",  
url: "/\_plugin/head/",  
jvm: false,  
site: true  
},  
{  
name: "license",  
version: "2.1.1",  
description: "Internal Elasticsearch Licensing Plugin",  
jvm: true,  
classname: "org.elasticsearch.license.plugin.LicensePlugin",  
isolated: false,  
site: false  
},  
{  
name: "marvel-agent",  
version: "2.1.1",  
description: "Elasticsearch Marvel Agent",  
jvm: true,  
classname: "org.elasticsearch.marvel.MarvelPlugin",  
isolated: false,  
site: false  
}  
]

Does the fact that `marvel-agent` doesn't show an `url`-property indicate something here? I.e.: plugin `head` has an url (and is available there), but `marvel-agent` doesn't.

In fact, going into plugins/marvel-agent I'm seeing no `_site` directory, which according to the docs is to be loaded on the specified url-endpoint.

Elasticsearch version from the same url above: 2.1.1

Anyone can tell me what's up?

The Marvel 2 user interface is provided as a Kibana 4 plugin, not an Elasticsearch site plugin. There are instructions for how to install this on the downloads page.

Indeed, I recommend the Getting Started Guide, which will walk you through the whole process:
