I am trying to build an offline plugin pack for logstash-codec-avro. I keep getting the following message. "ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: cannot find plugin matching: 'logstash-codec-avro'" Not sure if the name has changed or if i am doing something wrong. I am executing the following command from the bin directory of my logstash intallation logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-codec-avro Help needed. Thanks -E ---
