Need Help to install Translate filter in Logstash

[Akrishna (Narayan Krish)]

My server(centos) has logstash installed but I donot have internet connection there.
1)So I installed translate filter from below site in my local machine(Windows os).
https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-filter-translate
2)Then I copied the downloaded gem file to my server and ran the command:
/home/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-filter-translate-3.0.3.gem
But I get below error:
ERROR: No such sub-command 'prepare-offline-pack'

Also tried:- /home/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin --local logstash-filter-translate
error:-ERROR: Unrecognised option '--local'

Please help with this!

Hi,

I am no expert in plugin installation, however, your method seems a bit wrong!

Offline Plugin Management | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic

Did you go through this page?

I did not quite understand the https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html,
so if you could help me with the installation, it would be highly appreciated.

That would be quite difficult. The documentation is straight forward.

Basically, you would need a staging server. This server should have internet access. Once, you install the plugin on the staging server, you can pack it and install it manually on your production server.
