Hi, I am trying to install Lumberjack but it errors out, ``` root@elknode2:/opt/logstash# ./bin/logstash-plugin install file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip Validating file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip Plugin file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip does not exist ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip ``` Can you please help me solve the issue? ---

How did you obtain logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip? What happens when you run `ls /opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip`? ---

If your host is connected to the internet you can just run `logstash-plugin install logstash-input-lumberjack`. Otherwise see [Offline Plugin Management | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html). ---

> [@magnusbaeck](#): > > Otherwise see [Offline Plugin Management | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html). I tried it already as mentioned in the document. It says to install .zip file, ``` root@elknode2:/opt/logstash# ./bin/logstash-plugin install file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip Validating file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip Plugin file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip does not exist ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for file:///opt/logstash-input-lumberjack-3.1.3.zip ``` I am getting above error. ---

Yes, but only if that zip file has been created with `logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack`. As I said zip files downloaded from GitHub can't be used. ---

Ok thanks. I was able to install Kibana plugin downloaded as zip file. Logstash works in a different way than Kibana? ---

Yes, it's obviously different. ---
