Hello @drlight17,

How are you doing? I'm having issues installing the plugin on kibana (opendistro), these are the versions I'm using:

opendistro-for-elasticsearch-kibana:1.13.1 
opendistro-for-elasticsearch:1.13.1

Kibana and Elastic versions are 7.10.2

I updated the packages.json accordingly:

"kibana": {
    "version": "7.10.2"
  }

This is the error I get:

$ ./kibana-plugin install file:///tmp/kibana-menu-hide-master.zip
Found previous install attempt. Deleting...
Attempting to transfer from file:///tmp/kibana-menu-hide-master.zip
Transferring 1159 bytes....................

    at FSReqWrap.wrapper [as oncomplete] (fs.js:467:17)
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "Error retrieving metadata from plugin archive"

I googled it but couldn't find the issue.

Any help is welcome! thanks in advance :)

Hi, @gbadenes .
I didn't test plugin with newer then 7.7.0 version.
Anyway, try the following:

  1. stop kibana service
    service kibana stop
  2. unpack plugin zip to /usr/share/kibana/plugins/kibana-menu-hide
  3. remove all /usr/share/kibana/optimize folder contents
    rm -rf /usr/share/kibana/optimize/*
  4. start kibana service
    service kibana start
  5. check that plugin successfully installed
    /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin --allow-root list
    the output must be like:
kibana-menu-hide@0.1.4
opendistro-alerting@1.8.0.0
opendistro-anomaly-detection-kibana@1.8.0.0
opendistro-sql-workbench@1.8.0.0
opendistro_index_management_kibana@1.8.0.0
opendistro_security@1.8.0.0
  1. check kibana log for other errors
  2. if no errors in log - try to login to kibana

Hope this helps.

Hi @drlight17 thanks for your quick reply, unfortunatelly it didn't work. I am still troubleshooting and will let you know if I find the issue. Regards

How do I actually build the zip file to install it? Do I need to use generate_plugin.js in kibana?

Hello. There is no need to build something. Just unzip the archive to /usr/share/kibana/plugins/kibana-menu-hide.
Follow the instruction above.
Make sure you have version 7.7.0 of Kibana as I didn't test it with other ones.
