Hi,

I did a deployment and upgrade, from logstash 7.6.2 deployed binary to logstash 7.10.2 dockerized.  
I used the same logstash.keystore file (copy and paste .keystore from 7.6.2 to /usr/share/logstash/config inside container 7.10.2).

Next you find the errors reported:  
Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:.monitoring-logstash...  
Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:my\_pipeline....

Both errors have the same exception:  
exception=\>Java::OrgLogstashSecretStore::SecretStoreException::LoadException,  
:message=\>Found a file at /usr/share/logstash/config/logstash.keystore, but it is not a valid Logstash keystore.

Was it a mistake to use the same file in different logstash versions?

notes:

1. xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.user/password defined in logstash.yml it has no variables. Shouldn't take them from keystore.
2. my\_pipeline in output elasticsearch definition contains variables for username and password.

Does anybody have any suggestion to overcome the error?

thanks!!
