Elasticsearch 6.3: Unknown Plugin Marvel-agent

Question

I have installed Elasticsearch 6.3 following the steps: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/_installation.html#_installation_example_with_msi_windows_installer .

Now I would like to install Marvel-sense plugin for GUI interaction with my cluster. I am facing few issues in installing this plugin. I have just followed the steps mentiond in,

1. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/installing-marvel.html
2. https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/installation.html

I am trying this for past two days. Anyone who have been working with Elasticsearch, please point me where I am doing this wrong.

P.S: I have also referred one SO question: Install marvel plugin for Elasticsearch which is of different ES version and different case.

Looks like you need to install X-Pack

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/marvel/current/getting-started.html

From version 5.0 onward, Marvel is part of X-Pack. For more information, see Monitoring Elasticsearch and Kibana in the X-Pack Reference.
