Hi all

1. When I install logstash-codec-sflow with bin/logstash-plugin install logstash-codec-sflow I get:  
Validating  
Installing  
Install Successful  
I then do a bin/logstash-plugin list --installed and all the plugins show including sflow.  
I do this while the logstash service is stopped (just thought this would be best)  
Startup the logstash service sudo service logstash start - It starts, tail the logs (Have loginfo set to trace) to see what is going on and see all but the sflow plugin listed as loaded plugins.  
Go back to bin/logstash-plugin list --installed and get Error: No plugins installed

Then I downloaded the plugin manually - same approach as above instead specifying the path to the file (incl the file name)  
Installing (doesnt validate "local" plugins)  
Installation Successful  
bin/logstash-plugin list --installed  
See it there  
Startup Logstash  
Logs: No sflow

Go back - bin/logstash-plugin list --installed

If I run above without sudo I get:  
`/usr/share/logstash$ bin/logstash-plugin list --installed Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: Option UseConcMarkSweepGC was deprecated in version 9.0 and will likely be removed in a future release. unsupported Java version "10", defaulting to 1.7 WARNING: An illegal reflective access operation has occurred WARNING: Illegal reflective access by org.jruby.util.io.FilenoUtil to method sun.nio.ch.SelChImpl.getFD() WARNING: Please consider reporting this to the maintainers of org.jruby.util.io.FilenoUtil WARNING: Use --illegal-access=warn to enable warnings of further illegal reflective access operations WARNING: All illegal access operations will be denied in a future release`

Run it with sudo:

Um no logstash-codec-sflow..... just amoment ago you told me it was installed (logstash service stopped when installing, then started the service and ran command above)

I have run a update on all these plugins (painful wish there was or knew how to do --all for update ...) sflow is on 2.0.2 which is also the latest version on the [download.](https://rubygems.org/gems/logstash-codec-sflow/versions/2.0.2)

Environment:  
**OS** - `Ubuntu 18.10 on x64 Physical server`  
**Whole ELK stack** - `6.4.1`  
**ruby** - `ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-linux] ruby in vendor/bundle/ 2.3.0`  
**jruby** -  
`unsupported Java version "10", defaulting to 1.7 jruby 9.1.13.0 (2.3.3) 2017-10-04 fffffff Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 10.0.2+13 on 10.0.2+13 +jit [linux-x86_64]`  
**Java**  
`:/usr/share/logstash$ java -version java version "1.8.0_181" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)`

I know it says Java 10 isn't supported but it defaults to 1.7 now not sure if logstash needs min 1.8 (which is installed)  
Any insight or help here?
