Hello,

First off thank you for the 5.4 release!

Was the grok filter downgrade intentional or is this a bug? The documentation also reflects the lower version grok plugin in 5.4.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-grok.html)  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.3/plugins-filters-grok.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.3/plugins-filters-grok.html)

This breaks the use of pattern\_definitions in 5.4.

Thanks,  
Jeff
