We have built a custom SMT for postgresql jdbc sink connector. We are trying to use this custom SMT along with JDBC sink connector as a custom plugin in confluent cloud. We have followed all the steps described at [Custom Connectors for Confluent Cloud | Confluent Documentation](https://docs.confluent.io/cloud/current/connectors/bring-your-connector/overview.html), but once we start the custom plugin we don’t see any error or activity. Is there something we are missing to use custom plugin in confluent cloud?
