Hello all,  
I've been using elastic agent to fetch logs from a variety of data sources. We ran into an issue where there was a misconfiguration with the pipeline and that caused to drop logs for that timeframe. Once the issue wa fixed the logs are flowing but we are still missing data.

Is there a way to fetch the logs for the missing timeframe?

I would say that it really depends on the integration and the input of each integration, but from my experience with Elastic Agent I would say that this is not something straight forward to do, or even possible in some cases.

For example, integrations that uses the `httpjson` input to get data from API endpoints will have a cursor with the latest data timestamp and you can't easily reset this cursor, basically you have to remove and add the integration again.

Another example are integrations that use TCP/UDP ports to receive data, like some network devices integrations, logs that are dropped will be lost.
