it is required to configure logstash elasticsearch output for shield.
For that the command to run is : =\> bin/plugin install logstash-output-elasticsearch-shield
After running this command i am getting error
"
Validating logstash-output-elasticsearch-shield
Installing logstash-output-elasticsearch-shield
Plugin version conflict, aborting
ERROR: Installation Aborted, message: Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "logstash-output-elasticsearch":
In snapshot (Gemfile.lock):
logstash-output-elasticsearch (= 2.5.1)
In Gemfile:
logstash-output-elasticsearch-shield (\>= 0) java depends on
logstash-output-elasticsearch (\<= 0.1.9) java
```
logstash-output-elasticsearch (>= 0) java
```
Running `bundle update` will rebuild your snapshot from scratch, using only
the gems in your Gemfile, which may resolve the conflict.

After this i searched this error on google but dint get any solution unfortunately.
After that tried to run =\> bundle update
But again i am getting error

Fetching version metadata from [https://rubygems.org/](https://rubygems.org/)...
Fetching dependency metadata from [https://rubygems.org/](https://rubygems.org/)..
Could not find gem 'logstash-core (= 2.2.2) ruby' in any of the gem sources listed in your Gemfile or available on this machine
Can anyone provide me with solution for this

Hi Rohan - what protocol are you intending to use? The HTTP protocol is now default and recommended for the Elasticsearch output. With HTTP, the separate ES-shield output plugin isn't required; you just need to add a few [options](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/logstash.html#ls-http) in the ES output portion of your config.

This is the wrong plugin, you want logstash-output-elasticsearch\_java-shield . You'll want to use that with the logstash-output-elasticsearch\_java plugin. logstash-output-elasticsearch-shield is for old versions of logstash / shield.
This should work with ES2.x+
