Hi,

Could you tell me if it is correcte :

```auto
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  # Send log to frghcslnetv10
  hosts: ["172.16.250.29:5044", "172.16.250.30:5044"]
  loadbalance: true

  # Optional SSL. By default is off.
  # List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
  #ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

  # Certificate for SSL client authentication
  #ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

  # Client Certificate Key
  #ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

```

Because I'm receiving nothing in both hosts and when I keep just one host I reveive logs !!

Hi,

That's weird. Can you run filebeat in debug mode and share the full logs, when using both hosts?
