Welcome! Which plugin do you mean? It's now part of the default distribution. But if you installed a plugin, did you restart the nodes? ---

Could you share the full elasticsearch logs? Why are you using a so old version instead of 7.6.0? ---

There is no Elastic SQL plugin for 5.3.0 from what I know. As others suggested, please try a much newer Elasticsearch version. There are many many fixes and features in these versions. Also, specifically related to your issue, in older Elasticsearch versions the endpoint is `/_xpack/sql` and not `/_sql`. ---
