No kibana plugins found in archive about kibana-plugin-metric-percent

[amannocci]

Hi @macadminrohit,
Unfortunately you can't use git archive as it.
If you want to install this plugin using kibana-plugin you can follow those steps :

1. Create a new directory kibana
2. In this new directory create a new one metric_percent_vis
3. In this new directory extract the git archive or execute a git clone
4. Now create a new archive that contains the directory kibana
5. You have now an archive with kibana/metric_percent_vis/content_of_archive
6. You can now run ./kibana-plugin install file://....

If you have any problem, please tell me

Try to remove metric_percent_vis instead of kibana-plugin-metric-percent.

[macadminrohit]

I deleted all the plugins and installed it again, it again installed [email protected]

[amannocci]

That's normal, metric_percent_vis is the plugin name.

I think this plugin messed with my kibana , i restarted it and it was fine, but the UI doesnt load. i get connection error on port 5601
curl -XGET http://localhost:5601
curl: (7) Failed connect to localhost:5601; Connection refused

[macadminrohit]

And i have removed all the plugins but it is not working anymore

[amannocci]

When you have this message => {"type":"log","@timestamp":"2017-08-18T17:38:03Z","tags":["info","optimize"],"pid":22741,"message":"Optimizing and caching bundles for kibana, stateSessionStorageRedirect, timelion and status_page. This may take a few minutes"} you have to wait a moment before you can use Kibana.
This operation can be very slow.

[macadminrohit]

How long should i wait? Do i need to restart the server? Usually restart kibana daily and it doesnt take this much time and i dont see any logs being created in /var/log/kibana

[macadminrohit]

Thanks i see it up and running again, Can i install the X-pack and you plugin again? Do i need to restart kibana after that?

[amannocci]

If you want to install a plugin.
Just stop your kibana, install all plugins and then restart your kibana.
You have to wait a little bit during the optimize step and after that if everything is good you can use Kibana.
The optimize step is execute only when Kibana detect some change like for example when you install a plugin if I remember.

[amannocci]

@macadminrohit Your problem is solved ?

[unreal4u]

Thanks for the above instructions! It certainly helped me install the plugin!

Isn't there a way that this could be automatized? Or was this recently changed by Kibana? (Sorry if it's a noob question, I'm still quite new at this, my first install was last week).

Greetings.

[macadminrohit]

@amannocci Yes i was able to start kibana successfully , what i am looking from this plugin is calculating percentage of successful transactions over total transactions. I have a field "TransactionStatus" whose value could be "Success" or "Failure". i want to calculate the percentage of Success Transactions over Total. is it possible with your plugin?

[amannocci]

@unreal4u I will create a little script to create the right structure.

@macadminrohit This is the purpose of this plugin. You can follow instructions in README to do this.

[macadminrohit]

@amannocci I read the README but i dont see the partition option under the metric visualization.

[amannocci]

@macadminrohit Please check if you select Percent Metric and not Metric.

[macadminrohit]

I dont see that visualisation option at all. I only see metric.

[amannocci]

If the plugin is installed and running then you will see this option.

[macadminrohit]

It says that plugin is installed, but i dont see this visualisation :(

Hi,
Facing the similar issue with v5.4.1
followed these steps

• Create a new directory kibana
  

• In this new directory create a new one metric_percent_vis
  

• In this new directory extract the git archive or execute a git clone
  

• Now create a new archive that contains the directory kibana
  

• You have now an archive with kibana/metric_percent_vis/content_of_archive
  

• You can now run ./kibana-plugin install file://....
  

Could you please confirm if i need to zip the content again? before running
bin/kibana-plugin install file:///location/to/the/.zip

Tried this as well.

bin/kibana-plugin install file:///home/socadmin/kibana-plugin-metric-percent-5.4.1.zip
