I am looking for ideas on how to easily spin up multiple Logstash instances from a common pipeline config source. Ideally I would be able to specify a URL (e.g. S3 bucket), instead of a local file or directory, from which logstash would fetch the pipeline and load. I could probably just read-only mount an NFS share where the files reside, but that doesn't seem particularly elegant. I am curious what others may be doing. Thanks, Rob ---

This is a feature coming to Logstash in a future release. ---
