Trying to install the logstash-output-email plugin, but not working. Can I get a lil help with trying to figure out what's up? ```auto [root@logstash logstash]# bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-email Validating logstash-output-email Installing logstash-output-email Plugin version conflict, aborting ERROR: Installation Aborted, message: Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "mail": In snapshot (Gemfile.lock): mail (= 2.6.4) In Gemfile: logstash-input-imap (>= 0) java depends on mail (~> 2.6.3) java logstash-output-email (>= 0) java depends on mail (= 2.6.3) java Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

This happens with the `--no-verify` flag as well. ```auto [root@logstash bin]# ./logstash-plugin install --no-verify logstash-output-email Installing logstash-output-email Plugin version conflict, aborting ERROR: Installation Aborted, message: Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "mail": In snapshot (Gemfile.lock): mail (= 2.6.4) In Gemfile: logstash-input-imap (>= 0) java depends on mail (~> 2.6.3) java logstash-output-email (>= 0) java depends on mail (= 2.6.3) java Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

The issue here is a bug with the `logstash-output-email` plugin which is not officially supported. There is also a bug with the documentation generator not mentioning that on the official documentation. The issue is that the `output-email` plugin requires an older version of the `mail` gem. You can work around this by running: ``` bin/logstash-plugin uninstall logstash-input-imap bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-input-imap logstash-output-mail ``` We would greatly appreciate it if you or someone else could take the time to figure out why the email output is pinned to a specific version. Thanks so much for this report @DreadPirateRob! ---

glad to help. I'm assuming this needs to be done in order for the output email to work? ---

Well, you can use the hacky uninstall/install workaround for now, but yes, it'd be better to fix the problem at its source 🙂 ---

Is there an email plugin that IS officially supported? Kinda seems like that should be a thing. ---

I just pushed a fix for this in a newly released gem for `logstash-output-email`. Thanks for letting us know about this 🙂 ---

`bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-email` should do the right thing. Alternatively you can upgrade with `bin/logstash-plugin update logstash-output-email`. ---

I haven't yet been able to install `logstash-output-email`, will the `update` get the correct version & install it? ---

What is the specific error your getting? It works fine for me with a fresh install: ```auto ~/Downloads $ tar -xzf logstash-5.0.0-alpha4.tar.gz cd logstash⏎ ~/Downloads $ cd logstash-5.0.0-alpha4/ ~/D/logstash-5.0.0-alpha4 $ bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-email Validating logstash-output-email Installing logstash-output-email Installation successful ~/D/logstash-5.0.0-alpha4 $ ``` ---

Specific error is in the first post. Unless I need to redownload logstash or do a `yum update logstash` ---
