Hi team, is there any way to insert bulk data into Elasticsearch 8.0.0 alpha 1, as there isnt any Logstash version compatible with this version. ---

1. We have just moved to RC1, so I assume you want to use that. 2. For all alpha, beta, and RC releases there was a Logstash version, download it at [Download Logstash Free | Get Started Now | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/logstash#preview-release) 3. Did using Logstash 7.16 actually fail? It might just have worked, but keeping them in sync is definitely a good idea. 4. This is for testing only, right 😅 ? PS: Changing the title, since 8.1.0 will be a different release. ---

Thanks for the reply @xeraa . 1.Yes, this is for testing purpose only. **well, I was able to start Logstash but couldnt proceed smoothly because of the following error, Kindly provide your input on this:** ```auto Using JAVA_HOME defined java: /usr/lib/jvm/default-java WARNING, using JAVA_HOME while Logstash distribution comes with a bundled JDK OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release.

1. Please use the RC instead of the alpha1, which is just buggier with fewer features. 2. This is your problem: `[ERROR][logstash.config.sourceloader] No configuration found in the configured sources.` There are couple of points right above that log message that are pointing at empty configs (or maybe wrong paths) or something about `Ignoring the 'pipelines.yml' file because modules or command line options are specified`. But it's a bit hard to guess what is going on there ---
