I am going to answer my own question, but this took me quite a long time to figure out, and the other person who asked this was never answered, so... I upgraded to 6.2.4 and started getting this error as soon as I start logstash.

```

The problem is that I did not reinstall xpack in logstash (it is in the other products), so the xpack entries are in logstash.yml, but there are no handlers registered to process them.
