Configuration

```
input {
	jdbc {
		jdbc_driver_library => "./RedshiftJDBC42-1.2.10.1009.jar"
		jdbc_driver_class => "com.amazon.redshift.jdbc42.Driver"
		jdbc_connection_string => "jdbc:postgresql://xxx.us-west-2.redshift.amazonaws.com:5439/mdatabase"
		jdbc_user => "abc"
		jdbc_password => "abc"
		jdbc_validate_connection => true
		schedule => "17 11 8 7 *"
		statement_filepath =>"queries/agent.sql"
	   }
}

output {
	stdout { codec => dots }
	elasticsearch {
		hosts => "hostname:17002"
		index => "agent_index_%{+YYYY_MM_dd}"
	}
}

```

I always get below error when schedule is triggered for above configuration

```
Unable to connect to database. Tried 1 times {:error_message=>"org.postgresql.Driver not loaded, try installing jdbc-postgres gem"}

```
