Hi, I am trying to experiment with 3rd party plugin. I have ES and Kibana 7.1.1 installed on Centos7 via RPM. I used kibana-plugin tool to install a plugin. I see the following in the kibana log:  
"Optimization of bundles for graph, monitoring, space\_selector, login, logout, logged\_out, ml, dashboardViewer, apm, maps, canvas, infra, uptime, **gradiant\_style** , kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, status\_page and timelion complete in 58.18 seconds"  
I also see the plugin in the optimize/bundles directory (gradiant\_style.css,gradiant\_style.bundle.js, gradiant\_style.entry.js). However, I don't see the plugin in Kibana. Can you provide any helpful insight into why it's not working. Am I missing a step or is there another troubleshooting technique I can use to understand why plugin doesn't appear. Thx!

Hey @Rhonda_Gregory, Kibana plugins can augment or add any number of features, they don't necessarily have to be applications that show-up in the navigation on the left part of the screen. If you're seeing the message about the `gradient_style` plugin being recognized, it's installed correctly. I'd recommend checking with the plugin author to determine what exactly it should be doing.
