I was using logstash 1.5.4 and was able to install custom logstash filter received from third party team, now I have updated the logstash from 1.5.4 to 2.3.1 and when I try to install logstash filter it gives me following error:

```

```

Earlier in 1.5.4 I was using below command to install the filter:

`/opt/logstash/bin/plugin install /opt/logstash/logstash-filter-abc-1.0.0.gem`

Now after it gave me error to use logstash-plugin from bin folder I am using following:

```
/opt/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install /opt/logstash/logstash-filter-abc-1.0.0.gem

```

Any help here as what could be the issue?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

I think that there is a problem with **code's gem**. I saw this problem some time ago : [Issue](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/3117).

You can try to install **Git** and execute _"bin/plugin install /opt/logstash/logstash-filter-abc-1.0.0.gem"_ again (with access to Internet) or edit code's gem.

Regards
