Cluster ( or High Avalibility) at Logstash level

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

Hi Team,

I need to know how can I achieve HA(High Availability) at logstash level (2 logstash servers)

Reason: When we route logs from Firewall devices, Storage devices, etc we can define only IP address for log management server. It is not possible to add more than one IP address.

At beat level there is no issue.

Thank You

logstash itself is not HA. if you really want HA setup you have to introduce kafka or some kind of other layer in middle.

Thanks Sachin.

Can you help me with some guide which will help me in setting this up ? Because most of the guides are showing combination of beats and kafka. I want something which is independent, which can be used only for storage and firewall devices.

Also, apart from kafka, is there anything else that can help ?

Thank You

sorry I have no experience in kafka setup.

I only work with logstash for now.
