Hi  
I have 3 nodes for logstash. each logstash has it own pipeline  
(for example, one logstash has http module and some metricfiles. another one has two jdbc driver and some filebeats and....)  
So, I can`t use file and handle with "loadbalancing true" on the output of files...  
I just want to know, is there any solution to cluster all 3 logstash in order to failure tolerance or balancing?!?

I already read the bellow link:

Thank you so much

Logstash cannot cluster like that unfortunately.  
You could load balance inputs, behind a dedicated load balancer, but something like a file input is very difficult to do.
