Hi,

I see tons of posts related to this. But, I still have the same issue after running through several of the solutions in these posts.

I used the full path for the jar, and it's not an empty file. I'm running windows 10. For the driver class, I have tried with and without a "Java::" prefix (capital J).

Any ideas?

I have a docker for windows container with logstash and the logstash-input-jdbc plugin:

> FROM [docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:6.2.4](http://docker.elastic.co/logstash/logstash-oss:6.2.4)  
> RUN logstash-plugin install logstash-input-jdbc

Here is my logstash.conf:

> input {  
> jdbc {  
> jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "\docker-elk\plugins\mysql-connector-java-5.1.46-bin.jar"  
> jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"  
> jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:mysql://"  
> jdbc\_user =\> ""  
> jdbc\_password =\> ""  
> statement =\> "SELECT \* FROM
> 
> "  
> }  
> }
> 
> output {  
> elasticsearch {  
> hosts =\> "elasticsearch:9200"  
> }

My problem was that my docker image wasn't building. I removed all images and built again. Everything was fine.
