Hi,

I am trying with logstash 5.5.1. When I run following command on my Linux machine(staging server) to prepare for offline install of this plugin, it fails.

./logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack --output ./plugins\_gzip.zip logstash-codec-gzip\_lines  
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-codec-gzip_lines`

It is not installed in a default logstash. Install the gem from [https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-codec-gzip\_lines](https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-codec-gzip_lines).

Thanks, that was helpful. I could build the gzip\_lines plugin.
