Kibana Plugin - Custom Form Filter Visualization - Legacy Architecture

This plugin is built and compiled for Kibana v7.6.2. It is in a legacy format, not compatible for Kibana 7.7 onward. Also as the APIs are very volitile, under work toward the plugin New Platform (NP), the code does not work for v7.7.0 nor v7.7.1.

The plugin is based on kbn_tp_custom_visualizations.

Please refer to this repository for the main content.

Packaging the plugin as a zip file

Simply add the plugin directory inside a kibana folder and zip the file. Filename format carries the Kibana version (i.e. 7.6.0) followed by the plugin version (i.e. 1.0.0). Do not include the kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts/target directory in the zip file.

The zip structure is

kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts_7.6.0_1.0.0.zip
  kibana/
    kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts/
      package.json
      config.js
      public/
        ...
      server/
        ...

Installing the plugin

The plugin can then be installed like this either locally or remotely.

$ cd /usr/share/kibana
$ sudo -u kibana ./bin/kibana-plugin install file:///home/john/downloads/kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts_7.6.0_1.0.0.zip
$ sudo -u kibana ./bin/kibana-plugin install https://github.com/guyplusplus/Kibana-Plugin-Custom-Form-Filter-Visualization-Legacy/releases/download/1.0.0/kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts_7.6.0_1.0.0.zip

Deleting then installing the plugin often fails for me. I fix it by running this command.

$ cd /usr/share/kibana
$ $ sudo -u kibana ./bin/kibana-plugin remove kbn_tp_custom_form_filter_accounts
