hi everybody.  
I have 3 node and run cluster graylog-server.  
I use nginx for load balancer and on nginx open port (12301).  
i want to send log JSON format from logstash to this nginx then nginx, load balancer and send to graylog-servers. Which output plugin should I use in logstash  
my scenario: logsstash ( input-\>tcp )-( output-\> nginx port(12301) ).

Hi @arp220,

I assume you use nginx as a HTTP loadbalancer..? Then as far as I know you should use the [HTTP output](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.6/plugins-outputs-http.html#plugins-outputs-http) plugin.
