can we specify two host ids in file beat configuration? If we specify will data will distribute to different servers or same data will go different servers. In filebeat.yml file we have given configuration like below hosts: ["192.16.1.42:9200","192.16.1.41:9200"] ---

Yes, one can configure multiple hosts. See [logstash output options](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/logstash-output.html#_logstash_output_options). For filebeat the `spooler_size` should be bigger the `bulk_max_size`, so batches will be split up and load balanced. ---
