Hello,

Generally I need to install a plugin aggregate for logstash in a remote server to use it in my file .config to inject data in elasticsearch.

the problem is that I can't download directly the aggregate plugin using the command **./logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-aggregate** because I can't acces to internet.

that's why I choose the offline method in my local computer (windows) and send the plugin to the remote server via FTP.

I used the command **./logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-filter-aggregate** and it generates a zip for me.

but when I send it to the remote server and I try to install ans then I got the error.

**./logstash-plugin install file:logstash-offline-plugins-5.4.0.zip**  
**ERROR: Something went wrong when installing file:logstash-offline-plugins-5.4.0.zip, message: can't convert nil into String**

For any version of logstash from the last few years the aggregate filter is installed with the base package and you do not need to install it.
