Hi,
This is in continuation of my prev query that got auto-closed.

> Hi @shivani_aggarwal Ok I did a quick test I used CentoOS 7, the jdk you specified and the 7.17.3 oss logstash tar.gz not the rpm.... but it looks good... see below. I suspect their is perhaps a different issue I see here like your LS\_JAVA\_HOME is not pointed correctly or perhaps [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-setting-ls-java-home/307538/5) or this 23:20:50 chmod: cannot access '/etc/default/logstash': No such file or directory Perhaps @Badger might have an Idea.. I am not much of a dockerfile guru for logstash I also see [this](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/logstash-setting-ls-java-home/307538/5)CentOS 7 Test $ …
Summary:
**Logstash 7.17.3 is not working with jdk \>= 11.0.16**
As per @stephenb 's response, I've checked LS\_JAVA\_HOME is properly set.
I see that the installation of just logstash and service start works fine. But the problem is seen when any logstash plugin is installed.

We have been trying different combinations and now have following updates -
1. The same sequence of steps work fine with Logstash 7.17.3 with Java 11.0.15. All plugins get installed fine. The problem is hit when we move to java 11.0.16.
2. I also tried upgrading to Logstash 8.4.3 - This does not work even with 11.0.15 and gives the exact same errors in plugin installation.
Logstash 7.17.3 + java 11.0.15 -\> works
Logstash 7.17.3 + java 11.0.16 (and above) -\> does not work
Logstash 8.4.3 + java 11.0.15 -\> does not work
Logstash 8.4.3 + java 11.0.16(and above) -\> does not work
@stephenb Is it possible for you to also try installing few plugins on top of the test you did to see if there's any similar issue seen here?
Any other pointers, inputs will be much appreciated.
Thanks!

@stephenb Any pointers here? I'm neither able to update logstash to 8.x nor update jdk beyond 11.0.15 due to these problems.
It would really help to figure the root cause..

@shivani_aggarwal Installed Fine for me...
I think you have something else going on.
Perhaps Something with your version of CentOS or docker, these test are on Vanilla CentOS

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I tried some more things, would help if you could help me understand the logstash system-install script behaviour. More details below -
Background - I build a docker image of logstash using a centos7 base image with java 11.0.17 - download and install the logstash-7.17.3-oss rpm and then install some of the plugins. I use buildah to build the image -
```auto
container=$(buildah from )
# mount the image to host
mnt_container=$(buildah mount $container)
useradd --root $mnt_container --uid 1000 --gid 0 --home-dir /usr/share/logstash --no-create-home logstash
wget /logstash-oss-7.17.3-x86_64.rpm
cp $logstash-oss-7.17.3-x86_64.rpm $mnt_container/tmp/
buildah run --isolation chroot $container -- rpm -Uvh /tmp/logstash-oss-7.17.3-x86_64.rpm
buildah run --isolation chroot $container -- /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify logstash-input-journald
```
This fails with the error shared in this post earlier. Now, removed the buildah syntax from the plugin installation cmd and that worked - but it uses the bundled jdk now and not the jdk installed in my image.
Change:
```auto
$mnt_container/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify logstash-input-journald
```
O/p (plugin install success):
```auto
/var/lib/containers/storage/vfs/dir/3cc83f50069f15/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install --no-verify logstash-input-journald
10:05:59 Using bundled JDK: /var/lib/containers/storage/vfs/dir/3cc83f50069f15/usr/share/logstash/jdk
10:05:59 Warning: no jvm.options file found.
10:06:17 Installing logstash-input-journald
10:07:25 Installation successful
```
Any pointers on what could be the issue with using the installed jdk? JDK 11.0.17 does work fine with logstash in general - only when used through buildah isolation, this is creating an issue with jdk\>11.0.15.
The rpm installation with buildah isolation also does not work as expected, but does not fail it. Plugin installation however fails and stops.
```auto
10:03:05 + buildah run --isolation chroot nano-working-container -- rpm -Uvh /tmp/logstash-oss-7.17.3-x86_64.rpm

Beyond this, we don't have any more logs. Can you help us debug why /usr/share/logstash/bin/system-install is failing when not using bundled jdk ?

Apologies I am not a docker build expert... Nor an expert on the logstash install script, perhaps someone else can help.

Perhaps visit the buildah forum.
Seems to be more about building your docker images than logstash.
Have you tried just building an image with the logstash version you want the JDK you want the OS you want and then just start the container and then going into the container and see if you can add the plugin?
That might tell you whether it's the build process or the actual combination.
This might not make sense. As I said I'm not a docker expert.
