Install marvel plugin for Elasticsearch

Question

I have downloaded the version 1.1.0 of elasticsearch, and it\'s running well. I would like to install the marvel plugin, so I run the following command from the elasticsearc

Answer 1

You could try to go to the address http://download.elasticsearch.org/elasticsearch/marvel/marvel-latest.zip with your web browser. If you can download the marvel-latest.zip that way then you can manually create plugins directory under elasticsearch directory and unzip the marvel-latest.zip file in the plugins directory, i.e. the zip contents should go to plugins\marvel directory under ElasticSearch home directory.

Be sure to rename the unzipped directory from marvel-latest to marvel, so that address

http://any-server-in-cluster:9200/_plugin/marvel/

suggested in the tutorial works.

I had somewhat similar problem as you with the ElasticSearch version 1.1.1. The

bin\plugin -i elasticsearch/marvel/latest

command gave FileNotFound errors though with the web browser I was able to download the plugin and get it work.
