Hello people, A while ago I reported a bug in the logstash-filter-mutate plugin (specifically with the split method), details can be seen here: [https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5678](https://github.com/elastic/logstash/issues/5678) Now, there is a new version of this filter that is supposed to fix my issue, and I can see the version number has changed from logstash-filter-mutate-3.1.1 (as currently installed on my logstash 5.0 alpha 5 server) to logstash-filter-mutate-3.1.2 in thew newly released version, available here: [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-mutate](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-filter-mutate) This may be a _really_ stupid question (apologies), but how do I apply this new version to my existing server? `logstash-plugin update logstash-filter-mutate` does nothing... I'm very tired and need to sleep, but would like to know how to achieve what is probably a really simple task 🙂 I hope you can help me... Thanks Tim ---
