Hi all,

The plugin logstash-output-lumberjack is still not available for Logstash 5.x  
Does anybody now what happen with it and if it will be available near future?

This project is still active on github ([https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-lumberjack](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-lumberjack)) but the last build version is 10 month old. The last version 3.1.3 is still failing.

At elastic repository this plugin can't be found.

```

No, that error message indicates that the plugin manager's HTTP client is unable to connect to [artifacts.elastic.co:443](http://artifacts.elastic.co:443). It has nothing to do with the lumberjack output plugin.

The file [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-lumberjack/logstash-output-lumberjack-5.3.3.zip](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-lumberjack/logstash-output-lumberjack-5.3.3.zip) doesn't exist.

The logstash-plugin could make the plugin it self with gems., but it think it would be much easer if the ready zip file where there for download 🙂

thanks
