Hi all,

I am using the JMX input plugin for Logstash to collect JVM statistics for a set of webservices. There are about 150 in total, spread over 2 servers.

The polling is done every 60 seconds. I noticed that this polling is causing quite a bit of load every time this happens (since there are 75 requests being sent at once). Is there any method I can use to spread the load a bit more? For example, it would be good if the JMX input plugin could collect the stats from a subset of webservices every 10 seconds.

Any tips would be apprciated!
