Installing Kibana plugins


As Elasticsearch, Kibana allows to be extended with plugins that can be installed to increment its functionalities.

In this recipe, we will install 3D pie chart, bars chart, and bubbles chart visualizations available at https://github.com/aparo/3D_kibana_charts_vis.

Getting ready

You need an up-and-running Elasticsearch installation as we described in the Downloading and installing Elasticsearch recipe in Chapter 2, Downloading and Setup.

You also need a functional Kibana installation as described in the Installing Kibana and X-Pack recipe. The X-Pack is not needed.

As the plugins that we are installing is very new, they are not packaged as binary zip, we need to install via source code using git and npm of Node.js.

How to do it...

To install a source Kibana plugin, we will perform the following steps:

  1. We need to be in a shell in the kibana/plugins directory.

  2. We fetch the source from github via following command:

            git clone https://github.com/aparo/3D_kibana_charts_vis...
