Problem with logstash-input-file plugin

Elastic Stack Logstash

Hello !

Since the update of input-file plugin to version 4.1.5 when I start logstash I obtain this error :

overer, Watch with file and sincedb collections
[2018-07-25T15:04:51,646][ERROR][logstash.pipeline ] A plugin had an unre

This error is printed again and again !

I tried with logstash 6.3.2 and the problem is the same

On windows use "NUL", not "/dev/null".
