Perhaps you can use [jrubyc](https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/JRubyCompiler) to compile the logstash-filter-grok gem (and its dependencies) into JVM class files that you can access from Scala. I wouldn't attempt this.

Thanks  
There is no direct way of using the plugin in scala without using ruby right?

The grok plugin is written in Ruby so no, you can't just use it directly in Scala.
