The description is for "exec" plugin and not RSS.

It looks ok to me? Can you screenshot what you are seeing?

The description (presumably harvested from the [code](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-rss/blob/81250f69fc78089bf44da64841cc98b6f7bc8f29/lib/logstash/inputs/rss.rb#L9)) is wrong. The url/interval parameters are OK.

The Description line does not represent what an RSS input would do. Sounds more like the exec plugin.
