Sometimes your plugin is not available online or the standard installation fails, so you need to install your plugin manually.
We assume that your plugin is named awesome
and it's packed in a file called awesome.zip
.
The steps required to execute a manually installed plugin are:
plugins
, doesn't exist, create it.Every ElasticSearch plugin is contained in a directory (usually named as the plugin name).
If the plugin is a site one, the plugin should contain a directory called _site
, which contains the static files that must be served by the server. If the plugin is a binary one, the plugin directory should be filled with one or more jar files.
When ElasticSearch starts, it scans the plugins directory and loads them. If a plugin is corrupted or broken, the server doesn't start.
