Hi,

We are getting below error while trying to install “configsync” plugin for ES 8.4.1.0.

If we try to manually download and extract the zip file to plugins folder, ES starting is failing with below error.

Could you provide fix for this?

ConfigSync is a module, not plugin. Please see README.

Hi shinsuke,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I have installed configsync as a module as instructed in the installation document. Now getting below error while starting elastic search.

It works in my environment.
So it’s better to reinstall it or use Docker version.

$ ls -l /usr/share/elasticsearch/modules/configsync/
