I am a newbie. I am trying to be as clear as I can. A team member recently attended elastic conference and brought back a zipped folder containing some training material and elastic stack 5.2.0. I am trying to follow the Lab Guide that gets you up and running. Lab 1: running the Elasticsearch, done without error. Also started metricbeat and kibana without error. Lab 2: Unzipped filebeat-windows-x86\_64, modified filebeat.yml to include path to logs folder as instructed in the training material, then I run filebeat.exe -configtest and it says Config OK. Then I run filebeat.exe and it seems to be running, in a new terminal Lab 3: I go to logstash subdirectory and create a file logstash-lab.conf per instruction, the following is what this file contains > input { > beats { > host =\> "localhost" > port =\> 5044 > } > } > filter {} > output { > stdout { > codec =\> rubydebug > } > } Next I run **_bin\logstash.bat -f logstash-lab.conf -r_** per instruction, and this is where I see the following error. > [2017-03-30T11:46:54,545][ERROR][logstash.plugins.registry] Problems loading a plugin with {:type=\>"input", :name=\>"beats",
