I don't see this documented anywhere. For Fleet-managed Logstash Output, is there a way to loadbalance among the Logstash endpoints specified?

Hello Josh,
Take a look here: [Logstash output | Fleet and Elastic Agent Guide [8.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/fleet/current/logstash-output.html#output-logstash-performance-tuning-settings)
> loadbalance - If `true` and multiple Logstash hosts are configured, the output plugin load balances published events onto all Logstash hosts. If `false`, the output plugin sends all events to one host (determined at random) and switches to another host if the selected one becomes unresponsive.

So you would add `loadbalance: true` in the advanced YAML configuration of the output. (Disclaimer: I do not use it myself)
Best regards

Yes, I did see that, but that is for Standalone, not Fleet-managed.
I can't find the same info for Fleet-managed Logstash Outputs.

It is the same configuration, you just need to add the multiple hosts in the logstash output.
Then you add the `loadbalance: true` in the advanced yaml box.

Ok, thanks for the confirmation!
