Hi, how to load balance logstash ? for ex: I have elastic node running on 3 servers , and one of them logstash also running . if any of the es node goes down other becomes master and application still runs fine .. But if the server having logstash goes down , now logstash can not send the data to es and application is not able to perform its intended task . Can I run logstash instance on mulitple servers , so even if one goes down I will be having other instance of logstash which is sending the data to es ? or is their other efficient way possible ? Thanks, Navneet ---

This has been asked before, eg [How to make Logstash highly available](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-make-logstash-highly-available/29926). Try searching for some previous answers. ---
