I've downloaded a copy of the driver zip you are currently using. Should the `jdbc_driver_library` property not point to jar `mongojdbc4.8.jar` rather than `mongodb-driver-core-4.8.1.jar`? Looking at this [related thread](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-read-mongodb-logs-from-logstash-jdbc-plugin/312301) I suspect that might be the problem.
