Hello All,

I wanted a to ask if anybody knows why after almost each `apt-get update/upgrate` on my server two output plugins always gets deleted and I need to reinstall them along with all custom Logstash entries in `/etc/default/logstash`?

The plugins are:

`logstash-output-kusto`  
`microsoft-logstash-output-azure-loganalytics`

Can I prevent this somehow?
