I'm working through the logstash tutorial, for 2.1.0

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/advanced-pipeline.html)

which references a logstash-tutorial.log file

input {  
file {  
path =\> "/path/to/logstash-tutorial.log"  
start\_position =\> beginning  
}  
}

but I have searched the file distribution: logstash-2.1.0.tar and cannot find the example file of source data. Is there some other place to find the tutorial data?

Thanks.
