Hi,

is there a way to collect the same data from a number of databases with one central instance of logstash without blowing up the config file?? Today you have to provide a complete config for every host if i understand correctly.

I have somthing like an array of hosts in the config in mind. The plugin then would recursively run the same config for every host in the array. This is to avoid rolling out logstash to every system.

Kind regards,

Thorsten
