Hi,

I have a Logstash configuration like below;

```
input {
	kafka{
		group_id => "mygroup"
		topics => ["mytopic"]
		bootstrap_servers => "192.168.0.1:9092,192.168.0.2:9092,192.168.0.3:9092"
		codec => json
		add_field => { "logtype" => "LOGFILE" }
	}
}

filter {
	date {
		match => ["timestamp", "mm dd, yy hh:mm:ss"]
		timezone => "UTC"
		target => "@timestamp"
	}
}

output{
	elasticsearch {
		hosts => ["192.168.0.1"]
		index => "myindex-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}"
	}
}

```

Logstash reads from Kafka and pushes to elasticsearch. I want to run logstash in my IPs `192.168.0.1`, `192.168.0.2`, and `192.168.0.3`, in parallel, balancing load, as a cluster. How can I do this?

Thanks.
