I'm trying to install output syslog plugin in my virtual machine where there is no network, i didn't find the package in the official elastic website to download it, i found this link to upload it : [logstash-output-syslog | RubyGems.org | your community gem host](https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-output-syslog/versions/3.0.5)  
Is it safe & secure as file/source ?  
NB: i m using Elastic version 8.8.1  
Thanks

No, you can't install just the gem of the plugin, you need to follow the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/offline-plugins.html) on how to install offline plugins.

You will need to run the steps on the documentation on a Logstash with internet access and on the same version of the one you are running in your VM.
