Hi Jochen -- we've been using the 3rd party one made by Sivasamy Kaliappan with Graylog 2.0 (since alpha) without any issues. I understand from Lennart that Graylog 2.0 was meant to provide backwards compatibility with 1.x plugins -- so that's likely why it works.
Does the 'official' one (from Graylog) make use of any specific 2.x features/APIs (now or forthcoming)? Things have been stable with the 3rd party plugin -- so we're hesitant to move. That said, with the upcoming 5.0 Beats, it's likely that changes may be needed at some point (e.g. input format changes, or similar).
