Hi,

I'm running logstash 1.4.2 and/or 1.5.0 on windows server 2008. I'm trying to use the logstash-input-jdbc plugin.

Running the "bin/plugin install logstash-input-jdbc" leads me to believe that the plugin is not available. Do I now need to install ruby and something to do with gem build to install a built version? as covered in the below?

Or is there a different approach I have missed?

I've tried:

> c:\apps\logstash-1.5.0\bin\>plugin install [https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem](https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem)  
> io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated  
> Validating [https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem](https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem)  
> Plugin [https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem](https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem) does not exist  
> ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for [https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem](https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-input-jdbc-1.0.0.gem)

and

> c:\apps\logstash-1.5.0\bin\>plugin install logstash-input-jdbc  
> io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated  
> Validating logstash-input-jdbc  
> Plugin logstash-input-jdbc does not exist  
> ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for logstash-input-jdbc

Many thanks

You need the latest version of Logstash: [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash)

There are no dynamically installable plugins in Logstash 1.4.x
