Hello, I'm using a docker compose configuration to run the ELK-stack and it has been working smoothly until recently and I have no Idea whats causing the error. The problem comes in the form that when I'm trying to start logstash through my docker-compose file I will en up getting this repeating error. ``` logstash | [2020-03-31T08:23:28,442][INFO][org.logstash.beats.Server][main] Starting server on port: 5044 logstash | [2020-03-31T08:23:34,657][ERROR][logstash.javapipeline][main] A plugin had an unrecoverable error.

Also this error just seemingly appeared one day as the entire ELK-stack worked perfectly fine for several weeks. If you also want to have a look at the docker-compose file or the entire logstash log tell me and it will be done. ---
