I am trying out the input-jdbc plugin with Oracle ojdbc6.jar. However I am getting following error:

Error: oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not loaded. Are you sure you've included the correct jdbc driver in :jdbc\_driver\_library?

--debug flag did not reveal anything particular ([http://pastebin.com/vA5XYp9J](http://pastebin.com/vA5XYp9J)). I ran --configtest and returned OK.

Same machine I can compile and run a small JDBC test program just fine.

Is there any additional debug flag that will reveal what the issue is?

Ok, it seems it's already been addressed [on github issue 8](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-jdbc/issues/8). I had to change class to "Java::oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" and it worked! 😊
