Hi

i am trying to install the **logstash-codec-json\_lines** plugin on one of our Logstash server which does not have internet access . I get following error below message when trying to install the plugin .

I have tried to download the .gem file and tried to use the --local option but it still does not work . Wondering if you can please advise in installing the plugin using the offline .gem file .

1. 

bin/logstash-plugin install --local --no-verify logstash-codec-json\_lines

ERROR: Something went wrong when installing logstash-codec-json\_lines, message: Connection refused - Connection refused

1. 

bin/logstash-plugin install file://usr/share/logstash/logstash-codec-json\_lines-3.0.1.gem

ERROR: File not found for: file://usr/share/logstash/logstash-codec-json\_lines-3.0.1.gem, message: Can't file local file /share/logstash/logstash-codec-json\_lines-3.0.1.gem

1. 

bin/logstash-plugin install --local --no-verify /usr/share/logstash/logstash-codec-json\_lines-3.0.1.gem

ERROR: Something went wrong when installing /usr/share/logstash/logstash-codec-json\_lines-3.0.1.gem, message: Connection refused - Connection refused

Regards

Mussa
