Not sure exactly what you mean by manual, but the second paragraph of the [plugin documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-http_poller.html) says > This plugin does not ship with Logstash by default, but it is easy to install by running `bin/plugin install logstash-input-http_poller`. Doesn't that work for you? ---

we have already tried this command but our proxy is not allowing us to install this plugin form web. So we have tried installing plugin using manual steps listed in Github (and installation is successful now) but still showing the error as given below [ServerName~bin]$ ./plugin install /elkt/software/logstash-input-http\_poller-master/logstash-input-http\_poller-1.1.2.gem Validating /elkt/software/logstash-input-http\_poller-master/logstash-input-http\_poller-1.1.2.gem Installing logstash-input-http\_poller Installation successful [Server Name~bin]$ ./logstash -f http\_pollar.conf The error reported is: > Couldn't find any input plugin named 'http\_poller'. Are you sure this is correct? Trying to load the http\_poller input plugin resulted in this error: no such file to load -- logstash/inputs/http\_poller ---
