Hi,  
I'm trying to send events from Filebeat to Logstash instances on a couple of different servers.  
Is there an option to configure Filebeat Loadbalance logic?

I'm trying to solve these 2 problems:

1. Split traffic differently between hosts (for example, 3 hosts and traffic that splits `50%,25%,25%`)
2. Send to hosts according to condition (for example- if server is ABC then send traffic to host1)

Thanks

Is this for an input or output, and which one(s)?

It's for Filebeat output to Logstash
