Hi,
Below are my versions i'm using.
Logstash-5.2.2
Elasticsearch-5.2.2
Kibana-5.2.2
While trying to install the X-pack into my system, it was successful for KIbana & elastic search.
When trying to install for Logstash, it is throwing the below error. I have no spaces in between the foldername.
C:\Softwares\Kibana\latest\_logstash\logstash-5.2.2\logstash-5.2.2\bin\>logstash-plugin install file:///C:\Softwares\Kibana\x-pack-5.2.2.zip
