Hello folks,

Trying to come up to speed on ELK stack. So far it is interesting and fun.  
I am using ELK 6.0 on windows 8 OS.

I used range filter and logstash throw the following error. Do I need to install range plugin manually?

Failed to execute action {:action=\>LogStash::PipelineAction::Create/pipeline\_id:main, :exception=\>"LogStash::PluginLoadingError", :message=\>" **Couldn't find any filter plugin named 'range'.** Are you sure this is correct? Trying to load the range filter plugin resulted in this error: no such file to load -- logstash/filters/range", :backtrace=\>["C:/Downloads/ELK Stack/logstash-6.2.2/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/registry.rb:192:in `lookup_pipeline_plugin'", "C:/Downloads/ELK Stack/logstash-6.2.2/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugin.rb:140:in`lookup'", "C:/Downloads/ELK Stack/logstash-6.2.2/logstash-core/lib/logstash/plugins/plugin\_factory.rb:81:in

I believe so. When I run 'bin/logstash-plugin list' I do not see range in the list.

At the top of the page for the [filter documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-range.html).
