Hi Experts, I'm running Logstash 6.3.2 on Windows server, and have successfully installed the Kinesis plugin. The installation directory is C:\Logstash... I can see the Kinesis plugin (logstash-input-kinesis (2.0.7)) when I run **logstash-plugin list** I did all of the above when I RDP'd to the Windows server and logged in using a service/system account. The issue is, when I run a test conf file using Kinesis, it has the following error: [ERROR][logstash.plugins.registry] Problems loading a plugin with {:type=\>"input", :name=\>"kinesis", :path=\>"logstash/inputs/kinesis", :error\_message=\>"no !/ in spec", :error\_class=\>IOError, :error\_backtrace=\>["org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:955:in `require'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/polyglot-0.3.5/lib/polyglot.rb:65:in`require'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jar-dependencies-0.3.12/lib/jar\_dependencies.rb:332:in `do_require'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jar-dependencies-0.3.12/lib/jar_dependencies.rb:253:in`block in require\_jar'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jar-dependencies-0.3.12/lib/jar\_dependencies.rb:295:in `require_jar_with_block'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/jar-dependencies-0.3.12/lib/jar_dependencies.rb:252:in`require\_jar'", "C:/Logstash/lib/bootstrap/patches/jar\_dependencies.rb:6:in `require_jar'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-input-kinesis-2.0.7-java/vendor/jar-dependencies/runtime-jars/logstash-input-kinesis_jars.rb:33:in`'", "org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:955:in `require'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/polyglot-0.3.5/lib/polyglot.rb:65:in`require'", "C:/Logstash/vendor/bundle/jruby/2.3.0/gems/logstash-input-kinesis-2.0.7-java/lib/logstash/inputs/kinesis.rb:1:in `

Note that both service/system and my personal user account are both Administrators on the server, so they have the same privileges to access everything. Thanks so much for your help!!! ---
