Hi there, Im wondering if something achieved to use the jdbc input plugin with MSSQL 2000 (yeah quite old). I got the sqljdbc.jar from microsoft, but, with the default java installed (jdk 1.7) I've got an error type Java::JavaLang::UnsupportedOperationException: telling me that I should use the sqljdbc4.jar driver. If i switch to jre 1.5, logstash dont even start Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass0(ClassLoader.java:892) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:302) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:300) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:268) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:252) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:320) I cant use sqljdbc4, because it doesn t handle MSSQL 2000. My environment : Logstash 2.2.2 under ubuntu 14.04 Regards, Raphael. ---
