Hi Everyone,

You can now install any of the Open Distro for Elasticsearch plugins - Security, Alerting, SQL, and Performance Analyzer on a compatible Elasticsearch cluster.

You can use the following commands to install your plugin of choice -

Security:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/opendistro-security/opendistro_security-0.8.0.0.zip

Alerting:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/opendistro-alerting/opendistro_alerting-0.8.0.0.zip

SQL:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/opendistro-sql/opendistro_sql-0.8.0.0.zip

Performance Analyzer:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install https://d3g5vo6xdbdb9a.cloudfront.net/downloads/elasticsearch-plugins/performance-analyzer/opendistro_performance_analyzer-0.8.0.0.zip

Tips to keep in mind while installing an individual plugin from Open Distro -

  1. You need to have a compatible Elasticsearch version installed (e.g. v6.6.2)

  2. When you install the security plugin, you can run

sudo sh /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/opendistro_security/tools/install_demo_configuration.sh

to get started with demo certificates.

  1. By default, Elasticsearch doesn’t update plugins. Instead, you have to remove and reinstall them.
