Hi. My Elastic node hung as I was installing the ingest-geoip plugin. Now when I try to run it again it comes up with the below error message. ingest-user-agent does the same. Is there anyway I can fix this up without re-installing Elasticsearch and/or Java? Thanks. ``` root@els03:~# time sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-geoip -> Downloading ingest-geoip from elastic [=================================================] 100% Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: duplicate plugin: - Plugin information: Name: ingest-geoip Description: Ingest processor that uses looksup geo data based on ip adresses using the Maxmind geo database Version: 6.3.2 Elasticsearch Version: 6.3.2 Java Version: 1.8 Native Controller: false Extended Plugins: [] * Classname: org.elasticsearch.ingest.geoip.IngestGeoIpPlugin at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.readPluginBundle(PluginsService.java:491) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.findBundles(PluginsService.java:463) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.getPluginBundles(PluginsService.java:454) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.jarHellCheck(InstallPluginCommand.java:618) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.loadPluginInfo(InstallPluginCommand.java:606) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.installPlugin(InstallPluginCommand.java:717) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.install(InstallPluginCommand.java:641) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:225) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:210) at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:86) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) at org.elasticsearch.cli.MultiCommand.execute(MultiCommand.java:79) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginCli.main(PluginCli.java:48) real 0m12.780s user 0m3.440s sys 0m0.496s root@els03:~# root@els03:~# time sudo /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install ingest-user-agent -> Downloading ingest-user-agent from elastic [=================================================] 100% Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: duplicate plugin: - Plugin information: Name: ingest-user-agent Description: Ingest processor that extracts information from a user agent Version: 6.3.2 Elasticsearch Version: 6.3.2 Java Version: 1.8 Native Controller: false Extended Plugins: [] * Classname: org.elasticsearch.ingest.useragent.IngestUserAgentPlugin at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.readPluginBundle(PluginsService.java:491) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.findBundles(PluginsService.java:463) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginsService.getPluginBundles(PluginsService.java:454) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.jarHellCheck(InstallPluginCommand.java:618) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.loadPluginInfo(InstallPluginCommand.java:606) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.installPlugin(InstallPluginCommand.java:717) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.install(InstallPluginCommand.java:641) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:225) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.InstallPluginCommand.execute(InstallPluginCommand.java:210) at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:86) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) at org.elasticsearch.cli.MultiCommand.execute(MultiCommand.java:79) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) at org.elasticsearch.plugins.PluginCli.main(PluginCli.java:48) real 0m3.494s user 0m1.396s sys 0m0.084s ``` ---

Can you try to remove those plugins? ```auto /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove ingest-geoip ``` ---

@Shree You should better open a new discussion about your problem. And you can link from your thread to this post if you wish. ---
