Unable to install specific plugin version in fluentd

[Ga13Ou]

Hello, When installing additional plugins to the release we need to add it to the value "plugins" like mentioned in the values.yaml. However, there's no documented way on how to specifiy a version for that plugin. I tried this syntax and it didn't work

plugins:
   - "fluent-plugin-elasticsearch-5.2.5"

This is essential because when you don't specify a version, gem will automatically install the latest one. Which, in my case, caused an unexpected bug when a pod got restarted after the release of a non-compatible version.

So is there another way to force specific plugin version?

You can specify the version using the --version option:

plugins:
   - fluent-plugin-elasticsearch --version 5.2.5

I have not found this in the documentation, so you should probably treat it as a side effect. The reason it works is because the plugins variable is only used when generating the fluent-gem install command in the _pod.tpl file.
