Hi all,

Is it possible to turn on a setting so that with each new Elastic Stack upgrade this logstash plugin with install automatically.

Currently I have to stop logstash, upgrade the stack and run  
/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-codec-sflow

Thank you!

Is it okay to bump?

There is no such setting, you need to upgrade all the plugins that are not bundled by default when you upgrade logstash, this requires a restart.

It is perfectly OK to bump an unanswered question after four weeks.

I don't think there is anything in logstash that can be configured to automatically install or upgrade unbundled plugins. If you are using docker or a configuration manager like chef to build instances then obviously you can configure them to do it.
