 = Configuring the Fluentd out_forward plug-in to send logs to an external log aggregator
 
 You can configure Fluentd to send a copy of its logs to an external log
-aggregator, and not the default Elasticsearch, using the *forward*
+aggregator instead of the default Elasticsearch instance using the Fluentd *forward*
 plug-in. From there, you can further process log records after the locally
 hosted Fluentd has processed them. 
 
+[NOTE]
+====
+You can configure {product-title} to send logs to both the internal Elasticsearch instance and an outside log aggregator using the '@type copy' plug-in within the Fluentd `output-application` configuration file. Specific instructions for this configuration are beyond the scope of this documentation.
+==== 
+
 In this documentation, the {product-title} cluster is called the _sender_ and the external aggregator is called the _receiver_.
