Working to test this functionality and have a basic question. The inout documentation states "This scheduling syntax is powered by rufus-scheduler." I am wondering if Rufus needs to be installed or is this already a part of the Logstash agent install for 2.4? If it does need to be installed are there any good sets of instructions out there on how to do this?

It's part of LS, you don't need to do anything.
