I am new for logstash 5.0 and tried to create custom filter at 'PATH/logstash/filters/global\_config.rb' with the name of global config but I am getting error as:
bin/logstash -f conf\_d/
Sending Logstash logs to /usr/local/seceon/ashish/logstash-5.0.0/logs which is now configured via log4j2.properties.
[2016-11-04T15:41:44,592][ERROR][logstash.agent] fetched an invalid config {:config=\>"input { stdin { } }\n\nfilter {\n grok {\n match =\> { "message" =\> "%{COMBINEDAPACHELOG}" }\n }\n date {\n match =\> ["timestamp" , "dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss Z"]\n }\n global\_config {\n }\n}\n\noutput {\n elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["localhost:9200"] }\n stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }\n}\n\n", :reason=\>"Couldn't find any filter plugin named 'global\_config'. Are you sure this is correct? Trying to load the global\_config filter plugin resulted in this error: LoadError"}
I don't know what's I am doing wrong here can someone please help me ?
Same global-config.rb is working fine with logstash-2.4.0

You have an odd number of brackets in the error report. So check your config file and make sure you have properly placed the brackets correctly and didn't forget one 🙂 . Also if you can post the config file it will help.

Thanks for reply..
I have a very small config with input/filter/output .
This is the config file
[root@cce-logs-processor logstash-5.0.0]# cat conf\_d/test.conf
input { stdin { } }
filter {
global\_config {
}
}
output {
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }
}
and this is the error 🙂

I see the same issue with my custom output plugin.
Attempt to start logstash 5.0 with a custom output plugin (Ensured that I ve configured path.plugins correctly in the logstash.yml ) fails with the following error -
Trying to load the XXXXX output plugin resulted in this error: LoadError
I feel that for some reasons the register method in the plugin is not getting invoked. I debugged and see that the exception is being thrown at:
**registry.rb:69:in `lookup'**
which means that the plugin registration indeed did not happen. And hence there is no entry for path,klass for my custom o/p plugin.
This was working all fine until logstash 2.2.1.
I browsed through the documentation for breaking changes, and followed whatever is being asked for. However, still I see this error.
Please note: I am not using plugin-install. I am trying to use the output plugin in a standalone fashion as a java based custom plugin.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Yogesh

Nothing yet Ashish.
Actually, I haven't put more efforts on this after this post, as I think I am blocked on this.
Can some logstash SMEs please help us out here?

Is this an Issue with Logstash 5.0?
If so, when can we see this fixed? Any probable date /next version in which this can be seen fixed?
