Logstash nodes are independent and don't cluster in the same way as ES. Please explain what you want to accomplish.

Clustering Logstash instances isn't a goal in itself, it's something you do to reach a particular goal. For example better fault tolerance or increased performance. What is your goal?

Increase the performance is my goal.

Then you should look into using a message broker that buffers incoming events and that multiple Logstash instances can pull events from. I believe this is discussed in the Logstash documentation.
