I have upgraded my logstash from 5.5 version to 6.3 but now my configurations are not working. UUID plugin has stopped working.

I am getting following errors:

You'll have to install the uuid plugin using the command in the [plugin documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-uuid.html).
