Are the lumberjack plugin's usable with persistent queues? I have a logstash instance that I'm using to pre-filter events. It's going to aggregate, filter and forward the messages into a group of logstash filtering nodes. Both instances are going to have persistence enabled, but I haven't found anything saying lumberjack acknowledges messages as make it through the flow.

Just tried to build the logstash-input-lumberjack plugin on 6.2.1, and it's not found:

bin/logstash-plugin prepare-offline-pack logstash-input-lumberjack  
ERROR: Cannot create the offline archive, message: Cannot find plugins matching: `logstash-input-lumberjack`

This was my fault, I thought the prepare-offline-pack would download the plugin if not downloaded.
