Hello, I'm beginning with ELK so please be gentle. I just developed what looked like a sample plugin for adding a visualization to Kibana, because I need to have a particular design for my purpose. So I created my plugin under /kibana/plugins. It contains public/vis.js, public/vis\_controller.js, public/options\_template.html, index.js and package.json (omitting the .less). I've already done some research about what could have possibly broken my build, but I can't find what. In fact, even Kibana's documentation could not help me. Tutorials on Google are outdated, I specifically need a 6.3 working plugin. I already tried to use the plugin-generator, but the output sample plugin is not working. The ./bin/kibana-plugin install my\_vis\_plugin.zip does not work, telling me it doesn't recognize any plugin in the archive. And for the basic method, i.e simple running Kibana, 1st : it takes forever (330s), and 2nd : it breaks at the end, telling me with over 200 error lines It does not find my plugin, the main error being it does not find the plugin in /optimize/bundles (what I suppose will work if the plugin is located correctly). I already tried to move my plugin inside the core-plugins folder (out of curiosity) but it rejected me even harder, telling me the dependencies were broken. I also tried to modify the route in index.js by putting the 'real' one : /plugins/my\_plugin\_vis/public/vis instead of this one : /plugins/my\_plugin\_vis/vis none of them worked. Whatever the documentation or tutorial I could find was none of a help for me. I would be grateful if someone could tell me what is actually happening so my setup, and how to fix it. Regards V. Courtois PS : Please note that I am currently working with "Restricted Diffusion" data. ---

What plugin generator did you use for Kibana? From 6.3 there is an embedded one in the Kibana repo that you can use to generate: > **[elastic/kibana](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/master/packages/kbn-plugin-generator)** > > kibana - :bar\_chart: Kibana analytics and search dashboard for Elasticsearch There are some more guides in there. ---

Well, yeah. That's the one directly in the kibana setup I used. ---
