How to make Filebeat send events to multiple logstash in roundrobin

Elastic Stack Beats
1

I have a server which produces 1500 req/sec. Filebeat is processing the logs and sending to a logstash. However, it sends all the events to one logstash. How do I get it to send to multiple logstash servers in order to distribute the load.

Similarly I need to get the logstash to distribute the events to multiple elasticsearch nodes, not just one, for events coming from the same filebeat client.

in beats you can configure multiple hosts and set loadbalance=true to get load-balancing.

See logstash elasticsearch output plugin documentation. The output plugin supports multiple hosts + plus number of output workers can be set.

This is very helpful. Thank you very much!
