Hi
do you **know** / **it is possible** to use new **logstash monitoring API** ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.x/node-stats-api.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/5.x/node-stats-api.html)) to get information if Logstash is " **capable**" to **digest all data** that are send to him or logs are **starting to stack in queue**?
Currently our deployment does not have any MQ (kafka, redis) for high resilience. So i would like somehow discover if logstash has some problems -\> connect to it to our internal monitoring system.
thank you very much !
EDIT:
i have found that '\_node/stats/process' can give CPU 'load\_average' -\> but i dont know if i can consider this number as relevant to logstash performance/capabilities :-/
