I am updating from a 1.x installation to 2.3 on a CentOS 6 server. I removed the 1.x install using yum, saving the config files. I then installed 2.3 using this procedure: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html#\_yum](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/installing-logstash.html#_yum). I checked logstash.log after starting the logstash service and saw this: Couldn't find any input plugin named 'collectd'. I followed the instructions from here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/working-with-plugins.html) to add the collectd plug in, but the logstash-plugin executable seems to be missing:

[root@Analytics logstash]# logstash-plugin list  
-bash: logstash-plugin: command not found  
[root@Analytics logstash]#

Is the logstash-plugin executable not included in the RPM? Or is it installed in some non-standard directory?

So this file doesn't exist?

Ah. Didn't realize it was installed in /opt. I expect somewhere in /usr.

Ok, now that I can run logstash-plugin I get this:

```
[root@Analytics bin]# ./logstash-plugin install logstash-input-collectd
Validating logstash-input-collectd
Plugin logstash-input-collectd does not exist
ERROR: Installation aborted, verification failed for logstash-input-collectd

```

My 1.x logstash config has this in it:

```
input {
  lumberjack {
    type => "logs"
    port => 5043
    ssl_certificate => "/etc/ssl/certs/lumberjack.crt"
    ssl_key => "/etc/ssl/keys/lumberjack.key"
    tags => ["lumberjack"]
  }
  collectd {
    tags => ["collectd"]
  }
  file {
    type => "replication"
    path => "/var/log/replication.log"
  }
}

```

I notice that there is a logstash-codec-collectd plug-in. I'm guessing the collectd plug-in changed from 1.x to 2.x and I need to update my config file to reflect the change?

It's a codec, not an input - [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-codec-collectd](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-codec-collectd)
