Hi, once I try to add multiple output.logstash as array, I don't get any data, can you please assist? Thank you  
ex.

```auto
#----------------------------- Logstash output --------------------------------
output.logstash:
  # The Logstash hosts
  **hosts: ["log01.ex.com:5044","log02.ex.com:5045"]**
  # Optional SSL. By default is off.
  # List of root certificates for HTTPS server verifications
  #ssl.certificate_authorities: ["/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"]

  # Certificate for SSL client authentication
  #ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"

  # Client Certificate Key
  #ssl.key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"

```

If that's an exact copy of your config, you should remove the `**` around the `hosts` setting.

Hi, it's just a typo the `**` around the `hosts` setting.

Just to make sure: You are really not getting any data in either of these Logstash instances? With this configuration the expected behaviour would be that one gets all the data and the other gets none.

If you've more than one logstash-output - Make sure you add `loadbalance: true` option to output.logstash
