Hi Team,  
I am trying to read messages from 2 different rabbitmq servers and PFB my configuration sample. But, if any error on "host-a" logstash is not reading messages from "host-b" either.

Can we do exception handling in input section? continue/ignore if error on "host-a" and read from "host-b" ? what could be the alternate approach? I don't want to maintain another logstash server.

I tried host =\> "host-a,host-b" but in that case i can't maintain "type" which is important one.

it's logstash-2.3.4

input{  
rabbitmq {  
host =\> "host-a"  
port =\> 5671  
queue =\> "my-queue"  
user =\> "guest"  
password =\> "hithere"  
durable =\> true  
ssl =\> true  
exchange =\> "my-exchange"  
type =\> "msg-a"  
}  
rabbitmq {  
host =\> "host-b"  
port =\> 5671  
queue =\> "my-queue"  
user =\> "guest"  
password =\> "hithere"  
durable =\> true  
ssl =\> true  
exchange =\> "my-exchange"  
type =\> "msg-b"  
}

}  
output {  
stdout { codec =\> rubydebug }  
}

Thanks & Regards
