Listing, removing and updating installed plugins [listing-removing-updating]

Listing plugins [_listing_plugins]

A list of the currently loaded plugins can be retrieved with the list option:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin list

Alternatively, use the node-info API to find out which plugins are installed on each node in the cluster

Removing plugins [_removing_plugins]

Plugins can be removed manually, by deleting the appropriate directory under plugins/, or using the public script:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove [pluginname]

After a Java plugin has been removed, you will need to restart the node to complete the removal process.

By default, plugin configuration files (if any) are preserved on disk; this is so that configuration is not lost while upgrading a plugin. If you wish to purge the configuration files while removing a plugin, use -p or --purge. This can option can be used after a plugin is removed to remove any lingering configuration files.

Removing multiple plugins [removing-multiple-plugins]

Multiple plugins can be removed in one invocation as follows:

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove [pluginname] [pluginname] ... [pluginname]

Updating plugins [_updating_plugins]

Except for text analysis plugins that are created using the stable plugin API, plugins are built for a specific version of {{es}}, and must be reinstalled each time {{es}} is updated.

sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove [pluginname]
sudo bin/elasticsearch-plugin install [pluginname]
