Can netflow be used to detect data loss in logstash pipelines?  
Use case I am trying to solve:  
I see occasionally data loading stops due to network changes. Data loads from mysql to elastic via logstash pipelines.  
I am trying to see if I can use netflow to detect occasional data dips in elasticsearch. Partial data load, complete data loss etc.
