bundle install
rake install_jars

• Edit Logstash Gemfile and add the local plugin path, for example:

gem "logstash-input-pulsar", :path => "/your/local/logstash-input-pulsar"

• Install plugin

# Logstash 2.3 and higher
bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify

# Prior to Logstash 2.3
bin/plugin install --no-verify

• Run Logstash with your plugin

bin/logstash -e 'input {pulsar {}}'

At this point any modifications to the plugin code will be applied to this local Logstash setup. After modifying the plugin, simply rerun Logstash.

You can use the same 3.1 method to run your plugin in an installed Logstash by editing its Gemfile and pointing the :path to your local plugin development directory or you can build the gem and install it using:

• Build your plugin gem

gem build logstash-filter-awesome.gemspec

• Install the plugin from the Logstash home

# Logstash 2.3 and higher
bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify

# Prior to Logstash 2.3
bin/plugin install --no-verify

• Start Logstash and proceed to test the plugin
