Gurus,
One question about grok for logstash. Is it something we have to install it
separately, Or it will ship with logstash installation ? Or to make it
activate do we have to install the contrib plugin?
Please guide.
Thanks,
Joe

Grok is built into Logstash, see [Grok filter plugin | Logstash Reference [8.11] | Elastic](http://logstash.net/docs/1.4.2/filters/grok)
