How to install plugin on github to Kibana running on Container
You can download plugins and install in your container if you create a Dockerfile for instance. This will allow you to have an image turning Kibana including the plugin.
Kibana has this command to install plugins: kibana-plugin install
For instance, adding the plugin KNQL could be done this way:
FROM kibana:5.6.6ENV PATH /usr/share/kibana/bin:$PATH# Documentation https://www.elastic.co/blog/elasticsearch-docker-plugin-managementRUN kibana-plugin install \"https://github.com/ppadovani/KibanaNestedSupportPlugin/releases/download/5.6.6-1.0.2/nested-fields-support-5.6.6-1.0.2.zip"# curl and jq are used for the healthcheckRUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl jqHEALTHCHECK --interval=1s \--retries=600 \CMD curl -f http://localhost:5601/api/status | jq '. | .status.overall.state' | grep -q greenAs you can see I've added a Healtcheck at the end, check the documentation to learn more about this.
