Kibana skipping Plugins - kibana

I have shield installed as a plugin, in /installedPlugins/shield in Kibana.
when I start kibana, there is warning log message says: Skipping non-plugin directory at /path/installedPlugins/shield
Why is it skipping it?

Most likely you have installed the wrong shield meant for elasticsearch (.zip). You need to install shield for kibana (tar.gz). http://download.elastic.co/kibana/shield/shield-2.4.0.tar.gz
Remove the plugin and reinstall the kibana shield plugin. Restart kibana and it should work for you.

It is skipping it, because Shield is not a valid Kibana plugin.
There's an open issue about this (https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6148) which has yet to be fixed, but it is only labelled P3 (priority 3 => "nice-to-have bug fix")

How to install Vega plugin for Kibana 5.5.0?

I am just starting using Kibana (5.5.0). I found a nice plugin called Vega. After spending several hours unsuccessfully trying to install this plugin, I decided to publish here this question.
For example, when I run this command bin/kibana-plugin install file:///ust/test/kibana-vega-vis-master.zip, I get this error:
Attempting to transfer from file:///usr/test/kibana-vega-vis-master.zip
Transferring 25554 bytes....................
Transfer complete
Retrieving metadata from plugin archive
Plugin installation was unsuccessful due to error "No kibana plugins found in archive"
I think you are installing the wrong file. From the releases page, right click the vega_vis-5.5.0-(latest version).zip, use "copy link address", and use that URL with bin/kibana-plugin install https://....
For example, for the current version as of this writing, for Kibana 5.5.0, you would install it with:
bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/nyurik/kibana-vega-vis/releases/download/v0.2.3/vega_vis-0.2.3--for-Kibana-5.5.0.zip

After installing xpack on Kibana 5.0, the app fails to load

Kibana works fine with elasticsearch until I install xpack. I am using kibana and elasticsearch 5.0 on both and I am installing the 5.0 package of xpack.
The screen that I get after installing xpack is this
I tried restarting kibana but then the app would not show up at all.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue the logs are not showing any issues.
You can try the solution here - https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/9414
Had a similar problem and resolved by installing x-pack for both logstash and elasticsearch as well. I used below commands in windows 10 might be different depending on O/S
bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack
bin/logstash-plugin install x-pack
Described here
This seems to be the problem with installation. If you are running on any linux machines, do make sure you install x-pack with the same user that you installed kibana/elasticsearch. It is an issue often.
If not, do follow the process in the link to uninstall and reinstall again. It is very striaght forward and should work fine.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html
Also, do check if we need to make any changes in the configuration files- kibana.yml/elasticsearch.yml. This maynot be the case for here but it could help in debugging.

download failed, couldn't connect to host

I haven't been able to install new plugins or updating plugins after upgrading to wordpress 4.3 on my Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 32bit machine. Usually I could just do it by clicking on the "update" link that's associated with a specific plugin. And it will update it successfully with less than a minute. But this time, it took so long and at the end, it threw out error "download failed, couldn't connect to host".
Then, I thought and guessed that it might be to do with the new wordpress 4.3. So I downgraded it back to previous version 4.2.4 and tried to update the plugin that needs updating. It also took so long and in the end, gave the same error message.
The strange thing is that I haven't made any changes to my Ubuntu server in terms of firewall at all.
My installed PHP version is 5.5.25 and apache is 2.4.12.
The permission of my wp-config.php is 644.
I don't know what else to look. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
did you install the correct .dll files in system directory? uninstall the program and try running a system repair and .dll file patcher

Error while moving Drupal moving error

I was trying to move my Drupal site from my WAMP server to another computer's WAMP server and I followed all the necessary steps but I faced the error below. I tried updating but it didn't work.
Fatal error: Call to undefined function cache_get() in C:\wamp\www\try\includes\bootstrap.inc on line 901
I am using PostgreSQL and PhpPgAdmin. Any ideas?
See if Memcache is used in previous server.
If not see if some other cacheing mechanism like varnish cache is used
If none of the above:
When you type drush in the command line probably you reached the right place to solve you problem. This error arises when drush is not update and this occurs when you install drush from official repository in Ubuntu. The workaround is easy: just install a new version of drush! And to do so, you have to install from backported package of Ubuntu.
