Our applications connect to Logstash and send logs there. The Logstash service may be located on any ip on the net. I'd like not to write ip of Logstash to a config of a client app, but find it somehow on the net. Is it possible? Usually some applications send "discovery" UDP packets periodically to be found. Could Logstash do that?
