Hi,  
I got this error message when I load a logstash file:

` [ERROR] 2020-08-28 07:29:27.372 [main] Logstash - java.lang.IllegalStateException: Logstash stopped processing because of an error: (LoadError) no such file to load -- elasticsearch/version`

The command I use:  
`sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash -r -f test.conf`

The test.conf file:

```auto
   input {
     file {
       path => ["/home/logstash/testdata.log"]
       sincedb_path => "/dev/null"
       start_position => "beginning"
      }
    }
    filter {
    }
    output {
      stdout {
        codec => rubydebug
      }
    }

```

Best regards
