Unable to install custom plugin in logstash5.x

[Nikhil_Pillai (Nikhil)]

Hi,

I am facing below error when trying to install a custom (logstash-output-jdbc) plugin in logstash 5.2. Server doesn't have an internet access.

./logstash-plugin install file:///home/tibusr/mounted/ELK/logstash-output-jdbc-master.zip
Installing file: /home/tibusr/mounted/ELK/logstash-output-jdbc-master.zip

ERROR: Invalid pack for: file:///home/tibusr/mounted/ELK/logstash-output-jdbc-master.zip, reason: The pack must contains at least one plugin, message: The pack must contains at least one plugin

Regards,
Nikhil

I have the same problem with an unmodifed plugin.

I need to download it offline and get this:

/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install file:///home/shauenst/Download/logstash-output-exec.zip
Installing file: /home/shauenst/Download/logstash-output-exec.zip
ERROR: Invalid pack for: file:///home/shauenst/Download/logstash-output-exec.zip, reason: The pack must contains at least one plugin, message: The pack must contains at least one plugin

The same happend with logstash5.1.

I am not amused. Default filters are not all deployed and the install does not work...
