Hi Rami

I have found the issue for Progress but may be applicable to yours.  
If you are using a type 4 jdbc driver - put the jar file into the logstash-core/libs/jar/... Folder.

It seems to ignor in the core loading it - however you still need the entry to point to a valid file.

This then registered the driver and I was able to move on.

thanks

Kevin
