Could you suggest the better approach to have multiple logstash servers ?

My Approach :

1. filebeat points to two host entries :  
host : ["172.0.0.1", "172.0.0.2"]

2. filebeat points to domain name  
host : ["https:\[logstash.a.com](http://logstash.a.com)"]

Yes, that works fine.

> host : ["https:\logstash.a.com"]

I don't even know what you mean by that.
