Synopsis

Manages Elasticsearch plugins.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
force boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Force batch mode when installing plugins. This is only necessary if a plugin requires additional permissions and console detection fails.
name string / required		Name of the plugin to install.
plugin_bin path		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 path	Default: "/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/"	Your configured plugin directory specified in Elasticsearch
proxy_host string		Proxy host to use during plugin installation
proxy_port string		Proxy port to use during plugin installation
src string		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 string	Choices: present ← absent	Desired state of a plugin.
timeout string	Default: "1m"	Timeout setting: 30s, 1m, 1h... Only valid for Elasticsearch < 5.0. This option is ignored for Elasticsearch > 5.0.
url string		Set exact URL to download the plugin from (Only works for ES 1.x). For ES 2.x and higher, use src.
version string		Version of the plugin to be installed. If plugin exists with previous version, it will NOT be updated
