Hi

I have 1 logstash server configured and 1 fleet server.

I now want to scale out logstash by 1 more server.

The Elastic Agent have client side support for loadbalancing between multiple logstash servers:

```auto
output.logstash:
    hosts: ["logstash-server1:5044", "logstash-server2:5044"]
    loadbalance: true

```

**My doubts are when it comes to configure the Fleet-\>Settings -\>Outputs section:**

I have my existing logstash 'logstash-server1' configured here.

Do I simply under the " **Advanced yaml configuration**" specify the

```auto
output.logstash:
    hosts: ["logstash-server1:5044", "logstash-server2:5044"]
    loadbalance: true

```

and that would take care of the loadbalancing 🤷‍♂️?

"logstash-server2" have the same ssl/tls configuration as "logstash-server1" of course.

my reference is the official guide here, except I am missing a step by step guide here and google is getting tired of me now 😉

> **[Deploying and Scaling Logstash | Logstash Reference \[8.7\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/deploying-and-scaling.html)**

I really appreciate any hints, links, guides from you guys.

Cheers
