The `Upstream Servers` section defines a group of endpoints, referred to as nodes, which are used by output plugins to distribute data in a round-robin fashion. This is particularly useful for plugins that require load balancing when sending data. Examples of plugins that support this capability include [Forward](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/forward) and [Elasticsearch](https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/pipeline/outputs/elasticsearch).

### Key Concepts
38+
Each node in the `upstream_servers` group must specify a `name`, `host`, and `port`.
39+
Additional settings like `tls`, `tls_verify`, and `shared_key` can be configured for
40+
secure communication.

### Usage Note

While the `upstream_servers` section can be defined globally, some output plugins may require the configuration to be specified in a separate YAML file. Be sure to consult the documentation for each specific output plugin to understand its requirements.
