Hi, Yesterday this was working perfectly fine. I just upgraded the server to ELK 7.9 and after restarted Logstash I am getting this error stating Logstash found the keystore file, but "... but it is not a valid Logstash keystore..." I used these steps for previous keystore file: ``` $ sudo -E /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings /etc/logstash create --allow-root $ sudo -E /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings /etc/logstash add ES_USER --allow-root $ sudo -E /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-keystore --path.settings /etc/logstash add ES_PWD --allow-root ``` I did not get any errors while creating the file nor while adding the data to it and if I run the `list` command it returns the values I just added to the file. I am using the credentials as follow on each pipeline config file: ``` user => "${ES_USER}" password => "${ES_PWD}" ``` Did I miss something, or need to update something else in config, or even generate the file in a different way? I just removed the old file and generate a new keystore, but I am getting the same errors. Please help! **Log output:** ``` [2020-08-19T17:25:00,507][FATAL][logstash.runner] An unexpected error occurred! {:error=>#`>, :backtrace=>["org/logstash/execution/ConvergeResultExt.java:129:in `create'", "org/logstash/execution/ConvergeResultExt.java:57:in `add'", "/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:370:in `block in converge_state'"]} [2020-08-19T17:25:00,522][ERROR][org.logstash.Logstash] java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (SystemExit) exit [2020-08-19T17:25:14,215][INFO][logstash.runner] Starting Logstash {"logstash.version"=>"7.9.0", "jruby.version"=>"jruby 9.2.12.0 (2.5.7) 2020-07-01 db01a49ba6 OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1 on 11.0.8+10-post-Debian-1deb10u1 +indy +jit [linux-x86_64]"} [2020-08-19T17:25:18,028][ERROR][logstash.agent] Failed to execute action {:action=>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline_id:main, :exception=>"Java::OrgLogstashSecretStore::SecretStoreException::LoadException", :message=>"Found a file at /etc/logstash/logstash.keystore, but it is not a valid Logstash keystore.", :backtrace=>["org.logstash.secret.store.backend.JavaKeyStore.load(JavaKeyStore.java:288)", "org.logstash.secret.store.backend.JavaKeyStore.load(JavaKeyStore.java:60)", "org.logstash.secret.store.SecretStoreFactory.doIt(SecretStoreFactory.java:129)", "org.logstash.secret.store.SecretStoreFactory.load(SecretStoreFactory.java:115)", "org.logstash.secret.store.SecretStoreExt.getIfExists(SecretStoreExt.java:57)", "org.logstash.execution.AbstractPipelineExt.getSecretStore(AbstractPipelineExt.java:440)", "org.logstash.execution.JavaBasePipelineExt.initialize(JavaBasePipelineExt.java:82)", "org.logstash.execution.JavaBasePipelineExt$INVOKER$i$1$0$initialize.call(JavaBasePipelineExt$INVOKER$i$1$0$initialize.gen)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.JavaMethod$JavaMethodN.call(JavaMethod.java:837)", "org.jruby.ir.runtime.IRRuntimeHelpers.instanceSuper(IRRuntimeHelpers.java:1169)", "org.jruby.ir.runtime.IRRuntimeHelpers.instanceSuperSplatArgs(IRRuntimeHelpers.java:1156)", "org.jruby.ir.targets.InstanceSuperInvokeSite.invoke(InstanceSuperInvokeSite.java:39)", "usr.share.logstash.logstash_minus_core.lib.logstash.java_pipeline.RUBY$method$initialize$0(/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/java_pipeline.rb:44)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.CompiledIRMethod.call(CompiledIRMethod.java:82)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.MixedModeIRMethod.call(MixedModeIRMethod.java:70)", "org.jruby.runtime.callsite.CachingCallSite.cacheAndCall(CachingCallSite.java:332)", "org.jruby.runtime.callsite.CachingCallSite.call(CachingCallSite.java:86)", "org.jruby.RubyClass.newInstance(RubyClass.java:939)", "org.jruby.RubyClass$INVOKER$i$newInstance.call(RubyClass$INVOKER$i$newInstance.gen)", "org.jruby.ir.targets.InvokeSite.invoke(InvokeSite.java:207)", "usr.share.logstash.logstash_minus_core.lib.logstash.pipeline_action.create.RUBY$method$execute$0(/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb:52)", "usr.share.logstash.logstash_minus_core.lib.logstash.pipeline_action.create.RUBY$method$execute$0$ __VARARGS__ (/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/pipeline_action/create.rb)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.CompiledIRMethod.call(CompiledIRMethod.java:82)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.methods.MixedModeIRMethod.call(MixedModeIRMethod.java:70)", "org.jruby.ir.targets.InvokeSite.invoke(InvokeSite.java:207)", "usr.share.logstash.logstash_minus_core.lib.logstash.agent.RUBY$block$converge_state$2(/usr/share/logstash/logstash-core/lib/logstash/agent.rb:357)", "org.jruby.runtime.CompiledIRBlockBody.callDirect(CompiledIRBlockBody.java:138)", "org.jruby.runtime.IRBlockBody.call(IRBlockBody.java:58)", "org.jruby.runtime.IRBlockBody.call(IRBlockBody.java:52)", "org.jruby.runtime.Block.call(Block.java:139)", "org.jruby.RubyProc.call(RubyProc.java:318)", "org.jruby.internal.runtime.RubyRunnable.run(RubyRunnable.java:105)", "java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:834)"]} [2020-08-19T17:25:18,049][ERROR][logstash.agent] An exception happened when converging configuration {:exception=>LogStash::Error, :message=>"Don't know how to handle `Java::OrgLogstashSecretStore::SecretStoreException::LoadException` for `PipelineAction::Create
