I'm receiving the following error running logstash in an ELK environment:

> Couldn't find any filter plugin named 'json\_line'. Are you sure this is correct? Trying to load the json\_line filter plugin resulted in this error: no such file to load -- logstash/filters/json\_line

Yet I cannot find where json\_line is referenced. I check in the conf.d folder and couldn't find it in my logstash configuration file. Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Thanks,  
Justin
