Marvel location missing for plugin installation?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

When I run:

/opt/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install marvel

I get the following output:

-> Installing marvel...
Trying https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/marvel/2.3.2/marvel-2.3.2.zip ...
ERROR: failed to download out of all possible locations..., use --verbose to get detailed information

I can do a manual wget from https://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-2.3.2.tar.gz

I'm guessing the plugin command is looking for a zip file in that location (not a tgz)?

It looks as though something is not getting built and copied over within the Marvel/ES build process?

Nevermind.

I was not running the plugin with Kibana. An err on my part in reading the details.

Just to be clear for anyone that comes across this post later, starting with Marvel 2.x, it was split into two plugins:

  1. marvel-agent, which is used by Elasticsearch
  2. marvel, which is used by Kibana

So they're installed separately within their respective applications:

$ ${ES_HOME}/bin/plugin install marvel-agent
$ ${KIBANA_HOME}/bin/kibana plugin --install elasticsearch/marvel/latest

FYI, this will be simplified in Elasticsearch 5 and Kibana 5, so lookout for blog posts that discuss "x-pack" (e.g., the Elastic{ON} Keynote).
