Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a Logstash filter plugin which uses rest-client to communicate with a REST service. The plugin works fine on my development machine. However, as soon as I put it on a fresh logstash installation it throws the following exception when logstash receives an event:
Exception in filterworker {"exception"=>#<SystemCallError: Unknown error - Unknown Error (0) - /home/xxx/.netrc>, "backtrace"=>[
"org/jruby/RubyFile.java:865:in `stat'", "/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/netrc-0.10.3/lib/netrc.rb:43:in `check_permissions'",

"/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-1.5.0-java/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:219:in `filterworker'",
"/opt/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/1.9/gems/logstash-core-1.5.0-java/lib/logstash/pipeline.rb:156:in `start_filters'"
], :level=>:error}
(Logstash 1.5, JRuby 1.7.19 (1.9.3p551), Java 1.8.0_45)
I wonder why it works on the dev machine and not on a new one which has the same versions of OS, Logstash and Java. Could this exception be caused by some missing development tools like bundler, gem etc.?
I found a similar issue with the logstash-output-slack plugin. Does anyone know how to solve it?
Thanks in advance
