Hi,

I was able to install logstash-output-mongodb on ubuntu 14.04 but when I tried that on ubuntu 16.04, it fails with **ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for logstash-output-mongodb**. I'm using logstash 5.2.1.

```
root@mymachine:/usr/share/logstash# bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-output-mongodb
Validating logstash-output-mongodb
ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for logstash-output-mongodb

```

Any clue please?  
Thanks.

Based on the timestamps in the repo, I'd say this isn't compatible with 5.2.1 - [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-mongodb](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-mongodb)

@warkolm Thanks for the response.

I was able to get it work with this work around

1- Download logstash-output-mongodb from [rubygems](https://rubygems.org)

```
wget https://rubygems.org/downloads/logstash-output-mongodb-3.0.1.gem

```

2- Install it by refering the path where it was downloaded

```
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install /path/to/logstash-output-mongodb/logstash-output-mongodb-3.0.1.gem

```

Hope this helps.
