elasticsearch_plugin - Manage Elasticsearch plugins

New in version 2.0.

Synopsis

• Manages Elasticsearch plugins.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
force (added in 2.7)	Default: no	Force batch mode when installing plugins. This is only necessary if a plugin requires additional permissions and console detection fails.
name required		Name of the plugin to install.
plugin_bin		Location of the plugin binary. If this file is not found, the default plugin binaries will be used. The default changed in Ansible 2.4 to None.
plugin_dir	Default: /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/	Your configured plugin directory specified in Elasticsearch
proxy_host (added in 2.1)		Proxy host to use during plugin installation
proxy_port (added in 2.1)		Proxy port to use during plugin installation
src (added in 2.7)		Optionally set the source location to retrieve the plugin from. This can be a file:// URL to install from a local file, or a remote URL. If this is not set, the plugin location is just based on the name. The name parameter must match the descriptor in the plugin ZIP specified. Is only used if the state would change, which is solely checked based on the name parameter. If, for example, the plugin is already installed, changing this has no effect. For ES 1.x use url.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Desired state of a plugin.
timeout	Default: 1m	Timeout setting: 30s, 1m, 1h... Only valid for Elasticsearch < 5.0. This option is ignored for Elasticsearch > 5.0.
url		Set exact URL to download the plugin from (Only works for ES 1.x). For ES 2.x and higher, use src.
version		Version of the plugin to be installed. If plugin exists with previous version, it will NOT be updated
