Hi, I'm using Logstash (8.6.0) and want to send data to influxdb2 (2.6.1). But I find that logstash-output-infludb isn't installed by default, so I'm trying to install it. Some errors happen but no details are shown. Could you please share me with the way to install this plugin? Thanks in advance. ---

You have used this command, right? `bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-influxdb` Are you using proxy? Can you copy "Some errors" ---

Hi @Rios Thank you. Yes, I was using that command and proxy as well. Also, I was trying to follow [the way here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-install-logstash-output-influxdb-offline-in-logstash/226193) to install it but still got the same error. Here is the error message. I only got this one. **ERROR: Something went wrong when installing logstash-output-influxdb, message: execution** expired Btw, even if I tried to install other plugins, I got the same error. ---

Someone created a version that supports V2 over a year ago, but it has never been merged. See [this](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-influxdb/issues/96) issue. ---

Thank you. Sorry, I thought it's better to separate the topics, so I created [another one for influxdb v2 support](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/is-logstash-output-influxdb-plugin-influxdb-v2-support/323985). Maybe it's kind of getting away from the topic here. But that's weird. Someone tried to do that but no further update on that. I don't know if maintainers really want to maintain the plugin or not. ---

So will this command check the InfluxDB version before installing plugins? ```auto bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-influxdb ``` ---

I downgraded the logstash version to 7.17 and the problem still exists...and the error message is the same. ---

You should install via proxy, with LS proxy configuration, or offline more. Check [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html). ---

@Rios Thank you. But I also tried the same steps on the link you mentioned. It didn't work. Btw, here is the information on my server. ```auto OS: Operating System: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:7 Kernel: Linux 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64 Logstash: Epoch : 1 Version : 7.6.2 Release : 1 Architecture: noarch ``` Are these compatible? ---

- Plugin version: v5.0.6 - Released on: 2021-06-07 I could say, this is in a production for almost 2 yrs. Don't think this is a bug. There is few workarounds for installations, easiest way is either set proxy settings or temporarily open internet if is possible.
