Hi Team,

I am able to install X-PACK on ElasticSearch and Kibana.

However I am getting below error while installing **x-pack** on Logstash.

_ **Validating x-pack** _  
_ **x-pack is not a Logstash plugin** _  
_ **ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for x-pack** _

Anything I need to check ?

Kind Regards,  
Asif Bhat

What is the Logstash version you are using and how are you attempting to install X-Pack for Logstash ?

Have you already checked [our documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-xpack-log.html) ?

Logstash version - 5.1.1

I have followed that link while installing x-pack.
