On CentOS6.x running LS 6.7

So following directions here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html)

I get:

```
# /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack --overwrite logstash-output-syslog 
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-output-syslog`

```

Yet: [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-syslog](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-syslog)

Also:

```
# /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-filter-tld
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-filter-tld`

```

Yet: [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-tld](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-tld)

Am I doing something wrong? Wrong syntax?

Finally I need to reinstall the rest filter plugin, but it seems to be gone from github since that functionality was incorporated into 7.0. But as I'm still on 6.7, what now?

```
# /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-filter-rest
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-filter-rest`

```

Thanks.

So this issue was related to the fact that my logstash was not stable (see [Logstash crashes on mutate filter](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-crashes-on-mutate-filter/176408)). Once logstash became stable, all the plugin install commands worked.
