I have created a custom kibana plugin using the instructions from the link below.

When I build and install the generated plugin on a kibana instance deployed using a pre-built version, the plugin works and the menu item shows up in the kibana UI.

However, when I install the same plugin on a kibana instance deployed using Kubernetes, the menu item does not show up in the kibana UI. The plugin is however found inside the plugins directory. Is there any additional configuration to be done for kibana running on Kubernetes?

Installation of the plugin is done with the following command.

bin/kibana-plugin install file:///tmp/testplugin-0.0.0.zip

I am using kibana version 6.8.2.
