Hi, I'm finding that plugin installation is failing from behind proxy. This has me wondering how proxying should be configured in the current version. Neither of these approaches are working for me: ``` # export HTTP_PROXY=http://: # export HTTPS_PROXY=https://: # /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-zeromq ``` ...or add jvm args to jam.options: ``` -DproxyHost= -DproxyPort= ``` Neither works, generating this output instead: `ERROR: Something went wrong when installing logstash-input-zeromq, message: Connection refused - Connection refused` However, if I test internet connectivity from the command-line it works: ``` # wget --spider http://example.com Spider mode enabled. Check if remote file exists. --2017-01-03 15:05:18-- http://example.com/ Resolving proxy.ocado.com (proxy.ocado.com)... 192.168.253.50 Connecting to proxy.ocado.com (proxy.ocado.com)|192.168.253.50|:80... connected. Proxy request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK Length: 606 [text/html] Remote file exists and could contain further links, but recursion is disabled -- not retrieving ``` Would appreciate feedback/help here... Regards, David ---

Please format your code with the `` button, it’s very hard to read otherwise. ---

I am encountering the same issue here in a docker container where the entrypoint script ensures that certain plugins are installed prior to starting elasticsearch. This used to work end of November and now fails. As I am using the same version of Elasticsearch, I assume that it is not a change in the logstash-plugin code but something in the plugin repository changed which breaks our proxy connection. ---

Same issue here, just looking for the plugins to download an install it with bin/logstash-plugin install --local {plugin} but cannot find the plugins. I'm also behind a proxy. bin/logstash-plugin list works... ---

Same problem here. I'm using Logstash 5.1.1 and have set the proxy according to: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html#proxy-plugins:](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html#proxy-plugins:) ``` root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $http_proxy http://proxy.host:3128 root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $https_proxy http://proxy.host:3128 root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $HTTP_PROXY http://proxy.host:3128 root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# echo $HTTPS_PROXY http://proxy.host:3128 ``` Trying to install the "multiline" plugin and I get a _Connection refused_: ``` root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# DEBUG=1 ./logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-multiline DEBUG: exec /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/bin/jruby --1.9 /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/main.rb install logstash-filter-multiline Looking if package named: logstash-filter-multiline exists at https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-multiline/logstash-filter-multiline-5.1.1.zip Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - Connection refused initialize at org/jruby/ext/socket/RubyTCPSocket.java:126 open at org/jruby/RubyIO.java:1197 connect at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:763 timeout at org/jruby/ext/timeout/Timeout.java:98 connect at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:763 do_start at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:756 start at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:745 start at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/jruby/lib/ruby/1.9/net/http.rb:557 start at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/utils/http_client.rb:13 remote_file_exist? at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/utils/http_client.rb:23 get_installer_for at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/pack_fetch_strategy/repository.rb:27 create at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/install_strategy_factory.rb:15 each at org/jruby/RubyArray.java:1613 create at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/install_strategy_factory.rb:14 execute at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/install.rb:27 run at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:67 execute at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/subcommand/execution.rb:11 run at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:67 run at /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/clamp-0.6.5/lib/clamp/command.rb:132 (root) at /usr/share/logstash/lib/pluginmanager/main.rb:46 root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# ``` It seems that logstash-plugin is simply ignoring the proxy. ---

I accidentally installed the latest logstash version instead of the intended version. When I fixed that (thus reverting to 5.0.1), the plugin installation works again. I also had to set not only HTTP\_PROXY but also HTTPS\_PROXY for all plugins to succeed. This looks like a regression to me (as it worked in 5.1.1) but I am not deep enough into logstash to determine whether this is due to plugin-install or the bundled jruby version. ---

See [https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/6044](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/6044) for the problem and some suggested workarounds. This will be fixed in 5.2 though! πŸ™‚ ---

Thanks @warkolm! At least the download seems to work now, using: ``` export JRUBY_OPTS="-J-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.host -J-Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 ``` Unfortunately I get a different error this time: ``` root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# ./logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-multiline Validating logstash-filter-multiline Installing logstash-filter-multiline Error Bundler::InstallError, retrying 1/10 An error occurred while installing logstash-core-event-java (5.1.1), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that `gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '5.1.1'` succeeds before bundling. WARNING: SSLSocket#session= is not supported ^Croot@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# ``` And if I try to use the suggested command, I get: ``` root@server:/usr/share/logstash/bin# gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '5.1.1' ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'logstash-core-event-java' (= 5.1.1) in any repository ``` ---

Hi, I finally solved this issue!! i hope it helps you πŸ˜ƒ 1. remove and re-install logstash-5.1.1 (start with pure package) 2. use follow script > ---

Thanks! That works! So it seems the only thing I was missing was **JARS\_SKIP='true'** - whatever that means... Conclusion for 5.1.1: 1. you have to set the JRUBY\_OPTS for logstah-plugin to use the proxy 2. you have to set http\_proxy and https\_proxy for Ruby Gem (which is apparently called by logstash-plugin) 3. and you have to set JARS\_SKIP='true' also (for Ruby Gem?) for the installation to work What a mess... ---

Can I have a definitive statement on the fix for this please? I've upgraded to 5.2.0 and i still cannot install plugins. And, the above workaround fails too: ``` # bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-de_dot Validating logstash-filter-de_dot Installing logstash-filter-de_dot Error Bundler::InstallError, retrying 1/10 An error occurred while installing logstash-core-event-java (5.2.0), and Bundler cannot continue. Make sure that `gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '5.2.0'` succeeds before bundling. WARNING: SSLSocket#session= is not supported ``` Regards, David ---
