Hi We are trying to install the microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics output plugin to send logs to Azure Log analytics, but getting the following error in Logstash start-up and the Logstash service keeps restarting every few seconds with the following error: ```auto [2023-08-22T14:41:37,666][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=>"7.10.1", "jruby.version"=>"jruby 9.2.13.0 (2.5.7) 2020-08-03 9a89c94bcc OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.8+10 on 11.0.8+10 +indy +jit [linux-x86_64]"} [2023-08-22T14:41:39,745][INFO][org.reflections.Reflections] Reflections took 29 ms to scan 1 urls, producing 23 keys and 47 values [2023-08-22T14:41:39,994][ERROR][logstash.plugins.registry] Tried to load a plugin's code, but failed. {:exception=>#, :path=>"logstash/outputs/microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics", :type=>"output", :name=>"microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics"} [2023-08-22T14:41:40,001][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"Java::JavaLang::IllegalStateException", :message=>"Unable to configure plugins: (PluginLoadingError) Couldn't find any output plugin named 'microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics'.

I have set the right permissions to the relevant files. Any idea how to troubleshoot this further? Best Regards, Pavan ---

How did you install with `bin/logstash-plugin install microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics` or an offline plugin pack? Is it in the list of plugins? `bin/logstash-plugin list '*azure*'` Have you set the same permissions as other plugin directories? Have you tried to start LS with debug/trace log? ---
