We would like to read data using our own input plug-in. The data that we receive should go through the log4j-input plug-in. We were thinking to have two Logstashs running in a sequence. the output of the first logstash will output to tcp and the second logstash will read it via the log4j-plug-in. …

Does it make sense to pipeline few Logstashs one after another?
