I have configured my logstash with below configuration. With this, I am able to stream logs from cloudfoundry env. But in my case, I want to use a vendor loadbalancer in place for my logstash running in different machines. For which I need to provide them healthcheck url where they poll to get 200 response. Since in my configuration I use basic authentication, the loadbalancer could not validate my healthcheck.

My question is, can I have the basic authentication in place for cloudfoundry application to access my logstash and have a healthcheck end point with same port with any authentication. Please suggest

http{  
type =\> "pcf\_logs"  
port =\> MYPORT  
user =\> MYUID  
password =\> MYPWD  
ssl =\> true  
keystore =\> "mykeystore.jks"  
keystore\_password =\> "key-pass"  
}
