Im trying to install a custom .gem filter plugin using kubernetes StatefulSet. The gem file is in `/tmp` directory. pod log is showing `ERROR: File not found for: file:///tmp/logstash-filter-kubernetes-0.3.1.gem, message: Can't file local file /tmp/logstash-filter-kubernetes-0.3.1.gem`

Below is StatefulSet code snippet.

```auto
image: "grafana/logstash-output-loki:1.0.1"
        imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
        command:
            - '/bin/sh'
            - '-c'
            - 'logstash-plugin install --no-verify file:///tmp/logstash-filter-kubernetes-0.3.1.gem && logstash -f /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf'
    

```
