-JDBC output plugin for Logstash.
 This plugin is provided as an external plugin and is not part of the Logstash project.
 
-## Warning

+See below for tested adapters, and example configurations.
+
 This has not yet been extensively tested with all JDBC drivers and may not yet work for you.
 
+This plugin does not bundle any JDBC jar files, and does expect them to be in a
+particular location. Please ensure you read the 4 installation lines below.
