Hi everyone,
I installed Logstash 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.
I'm trying to work with it, but when I start the service - I got the following stacktrace error:
LoadError: load error: jopenssl/load -- java.lang.VerifyError: class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method equals.(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z

Any idea why I'm getting such an error? What can I do to resolve this?
Thanks,
Nitz

What does your config look like?

Simple config. The original input was file input (that I know is working because I used it in the old logstash). I changed it to stdin input to see if its related to the error...and its not :
## INPUT
input {
stdin{}
}
## FILTER
## OUTPUT
output {
kafka { topic\_id =\> "test" bootstrap\_servers =\> "IP:9092" }
}
