I see only one logstash node in kibana (it changes one time the first node and then the second ), I already deleted the uuid file and restarted the node but unfortunately it didn't create the new one .
Version 6.3.0
Please assist .

Your Logstash deployments contain a `data/` folder and in that folder is a `uuid` file. Can you verify that both of these files contain different values?

no the values were identical , but changing one of them didn't provide a solution instead I followed this steps and solved the issue :
```auto
$ sudo -i
# uuidgen > /var/lib/logstash/uuid
# tr -d "\n\r" < /var/lib/logstash/uuid > tempo ; mv tempo /var/lib/logstash/uuid
# service logstash restart
```
Best Regards

Deleting the `uuid` file and restarting Logstash should also create a new `uuid` file. Do you now see multiple Logstash instances?
