plugins not being loaded

[t5unamie]

I perform a opsworks deployment of the Elasticsearch node, I set the plugin values in my data bag as follows.

"elasticsearch": { "plugins" : { "karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic" : { "url" : "https://github.com/karmi/elasticsearch-paramedic/archive/master.zip" }, "lukas-vlcek/bigdesk" : { "url" : "https://github.com/lukas-vlcek/bigdesk/archive/master.zip" } },

The plugins get downloaded and are located inside the following folder

/usr/local/elasticsearch/plugins

ls -lha shows the following

drwxr-xr-x 5 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4.0K Dec 18 16:04 bigdesk
drwxr-xr-x 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4.0K Dec 18 16:03 cloud-aws
drwxr-xr-x 6 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4.0K Dec 18 16:04 paramedic

I am using version 0.90.4 ES.

The cloud-aws plugin is installed. However the rest are not. Log output is shown below.

As discussed on IRC. the 0.90.4 release has a bug in the plugin script which doesn't create the _site directory.

In your case you need do the following:

create a directory called '_site' in the /usr/local/elasticsearch/plugins/paramedic folder.
move all the files into that '_site' directory.
Restart Elasticsearch and you should see them being loaded.

THANKS! - Confirmed this is the issue.

Moved all files in the plugins to _sites inside the plugin and resolved the issue.

Regards
