Hi Team,

I am trying to connect to mariaDB as input , but facing error as  
Java::JavaSql::SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:mariadb

below are the input configuration in logstash

input {  
jdbc {  
jdbc\_driver\_library =\> "/etc/logstash/mariadb-java-client-2.4.2-sources.jar"  
jdbc\_driver\_class =\> "org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver"  
jdbc\_connection\_string =\> "jdbc:mariadb://127.0.0.1:3306/blk\_kpi"  
jdbc\_user =\> "root"  
jdbc\_password =\> "root"  
statement =\> "SELECT \* from test WHERE handler\_name in ('contact\_phone')"  
}  
}  
output {  
stdout { codec =\> json\_lines }  
elasticsearch {  
"hosts" =\> "127.0.0.1:9200"  
"index" =\> "test\_extra\_index"  
}  
}

What can be the possible mistake, which is causing the error. I have tried the solutions which were in forum.

TIA
