I m very new to ElasticSearch and LogStash. and I want to move messages out from RabbitMQ for ElasticSearch and further Kibana to visualize aggregations.

**Application Messages \>\> RabbitMQ \>\> LogStash \>\> Index in ElasticSearch \>\> Visualize on Kibana.**

On windows server, I installed ElasticSearch and LogStash 2.1.1.

Now I do understand that there is a rabbitmq plugin  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-rabbitmq.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-rabbitmq.html)

**Logstash error**  
I tried to install and get this error on LogStash.  
C:\logstash-2.1.1\bin\>plugin install rabbitmq --verbose  
_rabbitmq is not a Logstash plugin_  
_ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for rabbitmq_

**Elasticsearch error**  
I then tried to install on Elasticsearch  
C:\elasticsearch-2.1.1\bin\>plugin install rabbitmq --verbose  
_-\> Installing rabbitmq..._

Hi. Thought I'd try this to see if it worked for me. It didn't. Same  
error ☹

Some googling led me to think that the rabbitmq plugin needs to be  
downloaded - but how?

Eventually found this: (modify the path to your ruby install under you  
logstash folder if needed)

C:\Elastic\logstash\vendor\jruby\bin\>gem fetch logstash-input-rabbitmq  
io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated  
Fetching: logstash-input-rabbitmq-3.1.3.gem (100%)  
Downloaded logstash-input-rabbitmq-3.1.3

Then this:

C:\Elastic\logstash\bin\>plugin install logstash-input-rabbitmq  
io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated  
Validating logstash-input-rabbitmq  
Installing logstash-input-rabbitmq  
Installation successful

Haven't tried the plugin myself yet, but hope this helps.

Thank you, so much that did get it installed.  
One more question from the newbie; where do I put the config information of RabbitMQ host/port/login etc. in logstash?

Thank you once again.

Put a rabbitmq block in any input block in any Logstash file.

```auto
input {
  rabbitmq {
    ...
  }
}

```
