Hello,  
I am using Logstash to replcate a database from MongoDB to Elasticsearch using Logstash 6.0.0, here is my config file:

```auto
input{
    jdbc{
        jdbc_driver_library => "/usr/share/logstash/driver/mongodb-driver-3.6.1.jar"
        jdbc_driver_class => "mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver"
        jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mongodb://mongo:27017/DevDb"
        jdbc_user => ""
        statement => "*"
    }
}

output {
  elasticsearch {
    hosts => 'http://user:xxxx@elasticsearch:9200'
    index => 'mongo'
 }
  stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

```

I am using the official MongoDB java driver, downloaded from this link: [Mongo java driver](http://mongodb.github.io/mongo-java-driver/), but I'm getting the following error:

```auto
Error: mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver not loaded. Are you sure you've included the correct jdbc driver in :jdbc_driver_library?
Exception: LogStash::ConfigurationError

```

So what class name should I use ? Thanks in advance for your help!

This driver `mongodb-driver-3.6.1.jar` is a Java not JDBC driver.

Maybe:  
[Progress](https://www.progress.com/jdbc/mongodb) or [UnityJDBC](http://www.unityjdbc.com/mongojdbc/mongo_jdbc.php), you may need to pay for these.
