The elasticsearch version I am using is 2.3.  
I just installed an elasticsearch cluster with 3 nodes,1 Master and data node, another data node, and a client node.  
And I installed marvel in the client node.  
It complains:

Do I need to install Marvel in Elasticsearch Master node ?

It sounds like you haven't installed Marvel on the Elasticsearch side. You need both for it to work correctly.

See [the installation instructions](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/marvel)

EDIT: Note that you'll need to install Marvel on all the nodes in your cluster. See [the getting started docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/getting-started.html) for more information.

Do you have the server component installed? You should see marvel in this list:

```auto
/path/to/elasticsearch$ bin/plugin list
Installed plugins in /path/to/elasticsearch/plugins
   - marvel

```

Yes yes I was confused with my last post sorry:

@:/usr/share/elasticsearch$ bin/plugin list  
Installed plugins in /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins:  
- readonlyrest  
- marvel-agent  
- license

It's OK, I got the name of the marvel-agent plugin wrong anyway ;). I probably should have figured that out from the context of the output.

I'm guessing you only have the single node then, and that it's the same node that you are pointing Kibana at. Do you see the marvel indices in your cluster? Assuming you're using the default indices:

`http://localhost:9200/.marvel-es-data-1/_search`

`http://localhost:9200/.marvel-es-*/_search`

Also, check the time on your server and make sure it lines up with the time in your browser. If it's more than 10 minutes apart, you'll see the no data error.

Just going to leave this here just in case anyone is as stupid as me...

I too had this problem, twice in fact. The first time, the times on the nodes we out. FW rule to the NTP server was the culprit. The second occasion was a script that was supposed to update just one index, updated all:

`put _settings/index.refresh_interval=-1`

Fixed it by updating them all back with:

`put _settings/index.refresh_interval=1s`

I had the same problem.  
In my case, i defined custom path for plugins in elasticsearch.yml config file with: "path.plugins" property.

Custom config path must be given as parameter to plugin command with es.path.conf parameter:

Same problem here.  
Wanted to put my resolution in as well for anyone else.

Check your license. Marvel installs with 30 days free. On top of that you can keep it free for a year at a time. If your license is expired you'll see no Marvel data as well as information in the cluster log telling you (telling me) exactly what the issue was.
