What is the interest?

Writing a Logstash output plugin for AWS Kinesis.

What was already achieved?

Using this tutorial , logstash-output-sqs-0.1.3.gem was built from this GitHub repo .

What is the problem?

Installing the gem file using the plugin install command:

bin/plugin install ~/logstash-output-sqs-0.1.3.gem

Logstash 1.4.2

Can only install contrib at this time... Exiting.

The error reported is:
  sqs must set a milestone.

Error reading plugin file ~/logstash-output-sqs-0.1.3.gem, caused by NameError

What are the questions

• Which Logstash version is preferable for plugin development?
• How can this error be solved?

Answer 1

I was able to work with Logstash 1.5.0 beta1 as follow:

In my class in lib/logstash/outputs/kinesis.rb I added:

milestone 1

In logstash-output-kinesis.gemspec I changed dependency from:

s.add_runtime_dependency "logstash-core", '>= 1.4.0', '< 2.0.0'

to

s.add_runtime_dependency "logstash", '>= 1.4.0', '< 2.0.0'

BTW the plugin is ready:

This commit is compatible with Logstash 1.5.0 beta1.
