Adding 'logstash-output-syslog' plugin failed

[jworksinc]

I tried adding 'logstash-output-syslog' to logstash using the following command:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagioslogserver/logstash/bin/plugin install logstash-output-syslog

The process hung on installing and never finished. This process had to be killed. Now when I try to start logstash:

Code: Select all

[root@nagios01 ~]# service logstash start
Starting Logstash Daemon:                                  [  OK  ]

Trying to uninstall the 'logstash-output-syslog' plugin is not working either, also getting GemNotFound exceptions.

Ideally, I would like to get the plugin installed, but the immediate need is to revert what I have done to get logstash capable of starting and working again.

I'd like to close this topic, sorry for the inconvenience.

The Installing "logstash-output-syslog" step tasks a very long time, almost 10 minutes. Need to be patient. If you let it finish, everything will work fine.

Hopefully, this helps someone else.
