Hi,  
We collect metrics that are sent to Logstash and then stored to an InfluxDB. We have a case where we need to be able to send the data to an additional InfluxDB in a different data center. What's the best way to achieve this with logstash? I had a look at multiple pipelines but I'm not sure it's the correct way to do it (since there should only be one main input still). I also had a look at the clone plugin but that didn't seem like the correct fit either, though I might be wrong.

If you just want to send the same data to a different output, then have a second copy of the output in your logstash configuration.

Hm, OK, thanks. I had hopes I wouldn't have to have any duplicates like this but maybe it's the easiest solution.
