Other command line parameters

The elasticsearch-plugin script supports additional command line parameters.

Silent/verbose mode

The --verbose parameter outputs more debug information, while --silent turns off all output including the progress bar. The script may return the following exit codes:

0: Everything was OK
64: Unknown command or incorrect option parameter
74: IO error
70: Any other error

Batch mode

Certain plugins require more privileges than those provided by default in core Elasticsearch. These plugins list the required privileges and ask for confirmation before continuing with installation.

When you run the plugin install script from another program (for example, install automation), the script should detect that it is not being called from a console and skip confirmation, automatically granting all requested permissions. If console detection fails, force batch mode with -b or --batch:

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

Custom config directory

If your elasticsearch.yml config file is in a custom location, specify the path to the config directory when using the plugin script:

		sudo ES_PATH_CONF=/path/to/conf/dir bin/elasticsearch-plugin install <plugin name>
		
	

Proxy settings

To install a plugin through a proxy, add the proxy details to the CLI_JAVA_OPTS environment variable with the Java settings http.proxyHost and http.proxyPort (or https.proxyHost and https.proxyPort):

		sudo CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=host_name -Dhttp.proxyPort=port_number -Dhttps.proxyHost=host_name -Dhttps.proxyPort=https_port_number" bin/elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-icu
		
	

Or on Windows:

		set CLI_JAVA_OPTS="-Dhttp.proxyHost=host_name -Dhttp.proxyPort=port_number -Dhttps.proxyHost=host_name -Dhttps.proxyPort=https_port_number"
bin\elasticsearch-plugin install analysis-icu
