Currently i am using 3 nodes ES cluster in my filebeat agent output.elasticsearch mentioned in array format. what is the best approach to use that output.elasticsearch setting when i add or delete nodes so that i can maintain output.elasticsearch setting untouched?

One way i can use the puppet or ansible to make the config changes . is there any virtual name based solution available?
