Hi, What is the best way to manage installing specific versions of ES plugins? The plugin management tool seems to have the capability to point to a specific url for a version, but how does one figure out which urls/versions are available? -drew -- ---

This is plugin-specific, but typically you can figure it out by reading plugin's README file. Usually, at the beginning of the file you will find a table that shows compatibility between versions of the plugin and versions of elasticsearch. See [https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-groovy/blob/master/README.md](https://github.com/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-lang-groovy/blob/master/README.md) for example.
