Hi,

I am planning to send logs to 2 different servers over TCP. My output section looks looks something like,

```auto
output {
          tcp {
                 host => "XX.X.XXX.XXX" #ip address of server 1
                  mode => "server"
                  port => 689
              }
       tcp {
             host => "XX.X.XXX.XXX" #ip address of server 2
              mode => "server"
              port => 689
          }
    }

```

Is there a way to send the logs in Round Robin like LOG A to Server 1 and Log B to Server 2 .?

No, this configuration will send all logs to both servers.

Also, using just one output and setting the two servers in the host will also not work, the `tcp` output does not support load balancing.

If you need to load balance between those two servers, you will need to have something in front of them.

Thank you Lean. I am very new to Logstash.

Can we apply Fingerprint in Filter and send the output to different servers using IF statements please ?
