Logstash mysql using jdbc on windows: library error

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

I want to insert data from mysql to elasticsearch using logstash.

when I am running command, logstash -f myconf.conf
I am getting following error:

D:\Users\admin\setups\logstash-2.1.1\bin>logstash -f myconf.conf

io/console not supported; tty will not be manipulated
Settings: Default filter workers: 2
Error: com.jdbc.mysql.Driver not loaded. Are you sure you've included the correc
t jdbc driver in :jdbc_driver_library?
You may be interested in the '--configtest' flag which you can
use to validate logstash's configuration before you choose
to restart a running system.

I am using following conf settings...

 input {
jdbc {
jdbc_driver_library => "D:/mysql-connector-java-5.1.37-bin.jar"
jdbc_driver_class => "com.jdbc.mysql.Driver"
jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdatabase"
jdbc_user => "root"
jdbc_password => "root"
schedule => "5"
statement => "SELECT * from testtable"
}
}

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
action => "index"
index => "testindex"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

My java version is

java version "1.7.0_79"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_79-b15)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.79-b02, mixed mode)

I am using MySQL Server version: 5.7.9

And I've placed my jar in d: [ d-drive ]

I've spent enough time on this, and referred google for this, but didn't get solution.
Is there any PATH setting is required for loading library?
Suggest necessary solution.

What's in myconf.conf?

Hi magnusbaeck,
Please see the post again, I've edited for myconf.conf

Error message I am receiving here is,

Error: com.jdbc.mysql.Driver not loaded. Are you sure you've included the correc
t jdbc driver in :jdbc_driver_library?

FYI, I am using Logstash 2.1.1

myconf.conf contains

input {
jdbc {
jdbc_driver_library => "D:/mysql-connector-java-5.1.37-bin.jar"
jdbc_driver_class => "com.jdbc.mysql.Driver"
jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdatabase"
jdbc_user => "root"
jdbc_password => "root"
schedule => "5"
statement => "SELECT * from testtable"
}
}

output {
elasticsearch {
hosts => "localhost"
action => "index"
index => "testindex"
}
stdout { codec => rubydebug }
}

For your jdbc_driver_class try Java::com.jdbc.mysql.Driver

Thanks @razafinr

But did not work.

The driver class should be com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.

What a silly mistake. I need to be more careful about spellings.
