Error on search-guard-kibana-plugin - Kibana 6.6.0

[Arturo Reyes Lopez]

Hi,

I would like to have your assistance to solve the errors when installing search-guard-kibana-plugin-6.6.0-18.1 for elasticsearch 6.6.0 version. I am doing it in as follows:

[6.6.0:root]# pwd

/etc/kibana/6.6.0

[6.6.0:root]# ./bin/kibana-plugin install file:search-guard-kibana-plugin-6.6.0-18.zip

I am using 6.6.0 for Elasticsearch, logstash and kibana and attempting to install the plugin search-guard-kibana-plugin related. I downloaded these zips from here:

https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-kibana-plugin/archive/v6.6.0-18.1.zip

https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard-kibana-plugin/archive/v6.6.0-18.zip

I also tried with no success to create an empty folder called "kibana" and under this folder create a subfolder called "search-guard-kibana-plugin-6.6.0-18.1" in order to get the content of unzip file and then zip again containing the "kibana" folder. 

Can you please confirm the urls are correct? Do you have any idea what is wrong?

Thank you

Before running the plugin, I stop ELK stack. Do you know how I can unlock the process to finish?

Thanks a lot

The Kibana optimization process is shaky and problems are typically not related to Search Guard. Most issues can be resolved by giving the process more memory

See https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/troubleshooting-kibana#kibana-optimization-is-very-slow-stalls-or-exit-unexpectedly for details.

Thanks for your help, I ran as follows:

NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin install <Plugin URL>

Then, after 10 minutes I pressed Ctrl + C to finish the process based on the logs on kibana that stated the plugin was installed. After that, I had a problem when starting kibana, it was in red state. I had to add xpack.security.enabled= false to kibana.yml.

Now I am able to hit the login page.

Thanks for your help
