Freshman on elastic stack here. I'm trying to generate a logstash image with the following Dockerfile: ```auto FROM docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:8.1.0 RUN rm -f /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf && \ bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-translate ``` it creates it, but once run I got a kind of incompatibility exception: ```auto at org.nio4r.Selector.doSelect(Selector.java:237) ~[nio4r_ext.jar:?] logstash | at org.nio4r.Selector.select(Selector.java:197) ~[nio4r_ext.jar:?] logstash | at org.nio4r.Selector$INVOKER$i$select.call(Selector$INVOKER$i$select.gen) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.JavaMethod$JavaMethodZeroOrOneBlock.call(JavaMethod.java:577) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.ir.targets.InvokeSite.invoke(InvokeSite.java:197) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at usr.share.logstash.vendor.bundle.jruby.$2_dot_5_dot_0.gems.puma_minus_5_dot_6_dot_9_minus_java.lib.puma.reactor.RUBY$method$select_loop$0(/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/puma-5.6.9-java/lib/puma/reactor.rb:75) ~[?:?] logstash | at usr.share.logstash.vendor.bundle.jruby.$2_dot_5_dot_0.gems.puma_minus_5_dot_6_dot_9_minus_java.lib.puma.reactor.RUBY$method$select_loop$0$ __VARARGS__ (/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/puma-5.6.9-java/lib/puma/reactor.rb:69) ~[?:?] logstash | at org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.CompiledIRMethod.call(CompiledIRMethod.java:80) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.MixedModeIRMethod.call(MixedModeIRMethod.java:70) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.ir.targets.InvokeSite.invoke(InvokeSite.java:207) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at usr.share.logstash.vendor.bundle.jruby.$2_dot_5_dot_0.gems.puma_minus_5_dot_6_dot_9_minus_java.lib.puma.reactor.RUBY$block$run$1(/usr/share/logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.5.0/gems/puma-5.6.9-java/lib/puma/reactor.rb:39) ~[?:?] logstash | at org.jruby.runtime.CompiledIRBlockBody.callDirect(CompiledIRBlockBody.java:138) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.runtime.IRBlockBody.call(IRBlockBody.java:58) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.runtime.IRBlockBody.call(IRBlockBody.java:52) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.runtime.Block.call(Block.java:139) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.RubyProc.call(RubyProc.java:318) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at org.jruby.internal.runtime.RubyRunnable.run(RubyRunnable.java:105) ~[jruby.jar:?] logstash | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:829) ~[?:?] logstash exited with code 123 ``` if I try to not install the plugin when generating the image: ```auto FROM docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash:8.1.0 # no further instructions ``` and I change my `docker-compose.yaml` like this: ```auto command: bash -c "bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-translate && logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/logstash.conf " ``` I get the same error. Needless to say, if I don't install the plugin, logstash runs smoothly. How could I fix this? ---

Hello and welcome, > [@bertuz](#): > > ```auto > RUN rm -f /usr/share/logstash/pipeline/logstash.conf && \ > bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-filter-translate > > ``` Why are you trying to install the `translate` filter? It is not required, this is a core filter that already comes bundled. > [@bertuz](#): > > Needless to say, if I don't install the plugin, logstash runs smoothly. As mentioned, there is no need to install the `translate` filter, it is alreayd bundled. ---

and you're perfectly right! ```auto logstash@8e6216dd7f68:~$ ./bin/logstash-plugin list | grep -i transl OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release. io/console on JRuby shells out to stty for most operations logstash-filter-translate logstash@8e6216dd7f68:~$ ``` I was just following along a course, and maybe they were using an old version of logstash, not including that plugin. Appreciated the very quick answer. thanks! ---

> [@bertuz](#): > > I was just following along a course, and maybe they were using an old version of logstash, not including that plugin. That's possible, the plugin started getting bundled on version 7.0, which was released around 7 years ago. The course may be very old or was not updated with recent changes, so other things may not work as well.
