Manual fluentd elasticsearch plugin installation - no success

[Johann Degner]

Hi guys,

I am trying to install the fluentd elasticsearch plugin manually, because I hadn't success with the automatic gem installation due to the existence of a proxy in my network.

I placed the unpacked folder (downloaded from github) to /etc/td-agent/plugin.
But when I try to start the td-agent after configuring the transmission to elasticsearch in td-agent.conf as it is written in the official fluentd documentation, I only get the following error:



Jan 05 10:27:42 fluentd td-agent[420]: Starting td-agent: 2017-01-05 10:27:42 +0100 [error]: fluent/supervisor.rb:373:rescue in main_process: config error file="/etc/td-agent/td-agent.conf" error="Unknown output plugin 'elasticsearch'. R
Jan 05 10:27:43 fluentd td-agent[420]: td-agent ... failed!
Jan 05 10:27:43 fluentd systemd[1]: td-agent.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1
Jan 05 10:27:43 fluentd systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: data collector for Treasure Data.
Jan 05 10:27:43 fluentd systemd[1]: Unit td-agent.service entered failed state.

So I guess, that fluentd doesn-t recognize, that I added a plugin manually...
Are there any steps, that I forgot?


Thank you very much for your help!

Johann

Could you give me the result of `ls /etc/td-agent/plugin`?

BTW, 'gem install fluent-plugin-elasticsearch -p PROXY_SETTING' doesn't work?

That's the solution, thanks!
I simply forgot to try out this parameter...
