Logstash Codec and other

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi there,

Just upgraded to 6.5.0 - what was upgraded -> ELK
I was checking the bin/logstash-plugin list and noticed some missing plugins which I use:

  1. Sflow
  2. Multiline

Did these get removed in 6.5.0 or did they get renamed to something else.
Checking my logs for logstash I noticed it is throwing an error for the Multiline plugin and my Sflow dashboards etc have no info so I thought I would check the plugins and see them missing?

Would appreciate the guidance.

Update - seems like I had to reinstall logstash-codec-sflow.
Also had to reinstall logstash-codec-multiline.

Now sflow works -
Tried a reboot of the server as for some reason logstash even after a systemctl restart logstash wasnt loading the plugins:

Logs still show

I am now trying a pluging remove and will try to reinstall it.
