hey i am using 3 vms and on 2 of my vm i am running instance of logstash and what i notice is when i push logs to both the vm's at the same time logs from vm1 are first processed by logstash and then vm2 logs are processed. Wanted to know how to make the data transfer to elastic in a parallel manner.

Without a lot more description of the configuration (inputs, outputs, and more) it will be impossible for anyone to say why data does not appear to be processed in parallel.

Also, what evidence are you seeing that makes you think it is not being processed in parallel.
