Continuing the discussion from [Query to access distinct fields from different documents](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/query-to-access-distinct-fields-from-different-documents/74493/2):

I'm trying to install the logstash elapsed plugin on windows 7.

I ran the code `C:\ELK\logstash-5.2.0\bin>logstash-plugin.bat install --no-verify logstash-filter-elapsed` and got the error :

```
Installing logstash-filter-elapsed
Error Bundler::HTTPError, retrying 1/10
Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/
Error Bundler::HTTPError, retrying 2/10
Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/
Error Bundler::HTTPError, retrying 3/10
Could not fetch specs from https://rubygems.org/

```

I then downloaded the plugin from [https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-filter-elapsed/versions/4.0.0](https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-filter-elapsed/versions/4.0.0)

I tried installing the plugin directly offline using the command:

```
C:\ELK\logstash-5.2.0\bin>logstash-plugin.bat install c:/logstash-filter-elapsed-4.0.0.gem

```

I again end up getting a different error:

```
Validating c:/logstash-filter-elapsed-4.0.0.gem
Installing logstash-filter-elapsed
Error Bundler::InstallError, retrying 1/10
An error occurred while installing logstash-core-event-java (5.2.0), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install logstash-core-event-java -v '5.2.0'` succeeds before bundling.

Do you access the web via a proxy that you need to tell logstash-plugin to use?

@magnusbaeck Yes, I access the web via a proxy. I use an automatic configuration script. But I don't know how to bypass the proxy to enable the plugin installation.

Logstash doesn't use your configuration script. I'd say the problem is that it's _not_ using the proxy and that you have to tell it which proxy server to use. See the documentation.

Do I need to specify the proxy server for the offline installation as well?

Not sure, but it won't hurt.
