What JVM are you running?

3

Hello Mark,

I am trying to install x-pack in windows and JVM details are as below

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

4

Are you behind a corporate proxy?

The error you are getting seems to be because your JVM cannot verify the SSL certificate of the elastic download site.

That shouldn't happen, but can sometime be caused by:

  • Weird JVMs, particularly OpenJDK builds that ship with a customised set of CA certs.
  • Corporate MITM proxies that generate their own SSL certificates on the fly.
5

The JVM was installed from the following site
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

Installing CA certificates from elastic site and adding them to local will help ?

I have even tried to install it offline. But facing some FileNotFoundException. The x-pack is downloaded in the "C:\ES_NEW\x-pack-5.4.3" folder

Note: we are trying to test everything in windows first and later we are planning to test in aix.

Hey,

can you try file://C:... to make sure you are using a proper URL, as Elasticsearch still tries to download the URL you specified and does not recognize it as a local file.

Thanks. I tried it.

"ERROR: Unknown plugin file//C:\ES_NEW\x-pack-5.4.3"

C:\ES_NEW\elasticsearch-5.4.3>bin\elasticsearch-plugin install file//C:\ES_NEW\x-pack-5.4.3
A tool for managing installed elasticsearch plugins

Commands

list - Lists installed elasticsearch plugins
install - Install a plugin
remove - removes a plugin from Elasticsearch

Non-option arguments:
command

Option Description

-h, --help show help
-s, --silent show minimal output
-v, --verbose show verbose output
ERROR: Unknown plugin file//C:\ES_NEW\x-pack-5.4.3

Am I missing any step here ?

I downloaded "x-pack-5.4.3.zip" and unzipped in my local. Do I need to do anything else ?

8

Should be C:\ES_NEW\elasticsearch-5.4.3>bin\elasticsearch-plugin install file://C:\ES_NEW\x-pack-5.4.3, you need the : after file.

9

C:\ES_NEW\elasticsearch-5.4.3>bin\elasticsearch-plugin.bat install file:///ES_NEW/x-pack-5.4.3.zip

the above command solved the issue.

With "C:" it was not working

Thanks for all the help.
