I am getting this error while running the github plugin in logstash.

Plugin: \<LogStash::Inputs::GitHub id=\>"a8d9de94a4535953974b37dedbea2c29254692fa33ebd1b70372cf8413e435f2", port=\>22, secret\_token=\>"3e27bb366ae773d231ad4dacc227f572eadb75bb", ip=\>"185.199.108.0", enable\_metric=\>true, codec=\>\<LogStash::Codecs::Plain id=\>"plain\_7caf9305-ca4e-477d-9716-399b9f37d5af", enable\_metric=\>true, charset=\>"UTF-8"\>, drop\_invalid=\>false\>  
Error: Can't assign requested address - bind - Cannot assign requested address: bind  
Exception: Errno::EADDRNOTAVAIL  
Stack: org/jruby/ext/socket/RubyTCPServer.java:127:in `initialize'

here is my config file for input:

Is 185.199.108.0 one of the IP addresses of the server where you are running logstash?

You have misunderstood the function of the plugin. It does not connect to github. It is a [webhook](https://developer.github.com/webhooks/) that listens for events that github will POST to it. github connects to the plugin, not the other way around.

You might be able to do it using an http\_poller input or an http filter.
