That filter isn't included by default so you'll have to install it with the logstash-plugin command.

The reason the filter isn't included is that it's deprecated. You should look into using the multiline codec instead, or move your multiline processing elsewhere.

I am reffering to this link :  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.0/plugins-codecs-multiline.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.0/plugins-codecs-multiline.html)

this code:  
filter {  
multiline {  
type =\> "somefiletype"  
pattern =\> "\$"  
what =\> "next"  
}  
}

But it still showing me same error.
