I want to send my ES 2.4.0 snapshots to azure storage account.I created one storage account and i installed azure-cloud plugin from this link  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.4/cloud-azure.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.4/cloud-azure.html)  
and stored in plugins folder in elastisearch directory.  
When i run the elasticsearch cluster in command prompt it is showing exception like this

```
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Plugin [cloud-azure] is in
compatible with Elasticsearch [2.4.0]. Was designed for version [2.4.4]

```

Is there is any version of azure-plugin for elasticsearch 2.4.0 to send its snapshots to azure storage account?  
Thanks

Hi,

A wrong version of the plugin has been installed. You need to remove it first:

`sudo bin/plugin remove cloud-azure`

And reinstall it again using

`sudo bin/plugin install cloud-azure`

If your server is not connected to the Internet, then you need to download the right version of the plugin at  
[https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/cloud-azure/2.4.0/cloud-azure-2.4.0.zip](https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/cloud-azure/2.4.0/cloud-azure-2.4.0.zip)

and install it using the offline method documented at  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.4/plugin-management-custom-url.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/2.4/plugin-management-custom-url.html)
