I want to use inifile(iniparse is ok too) in ruby code (in my logstash conf file).  
my code is:  
ruby{  
init =\> "require 'inifile'; @@causeList = IniFile.load('./causeList.ini');"  
code =\>"  
if !(event.get('message').split('Cause:')[1].nil?)  
......

the error logs:  
[2018-01-26T22:16:00,253][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:id=\>:main, :action\_type=\>LogStash::ConvergeResult::FailedAction, :message=\>"Could not execute action: LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, action\_result: false", :backtrace=\>nil}  
LoadError: no such file to load -- inifile

does, logstash not support ruby (inifile, iniparse)?
