Hi all,

Some specs:

Logstash 7.13.1  
Ruby 2.5.0  
activesupport 6.1.4.1

I'd like to use some [active\_support](https://rubygems.org/gems/activesupport) functionality in my ruby filters that I list in my logstash config files. I'm having a problem however with my system finding the gem. Currently, I see that the gem has been installed, because I find it in /usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/activesupport-6.1.4.1.

However, I don't see the Gem listed in the /usr/share/logstash/Gemfile, nor in the Gemfile.lock file associated with my logstash exe.

I'm not sure if this is the reason I get the following error when running a logstash configuration that utilizes a ruby filter that requires active\_support:

```auto
LoadError: no such file to load -- active_support/all

```

all is a .rb script within the above named active\_support folder.

If anyone has any experience with this, I would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks!

After adding the gem to the Gemfile, there are no complaints from logstash! I guess Logstash uses this Gemfile as a reference first for what it needs to have ready for filtering.
