Hello all Running Logstash v7.8.1 and dead\_letter\_queue input plugin v1.1.5. Just a question about the functionalilty of the DLQ input plugin for Logstash. Seeing a couple of issues myself and then after looking around on here and the GitHub pages of Logstash and dead\_letter\_queue plugin. The functionalilty of being able to remove an already processed DLQ log/ event isn't available yet? Would there be a work around this for now or is this in the pipeline already for future releases? **referenced links:** - [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-dead\_letter\_queue/issues/20](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-dead_letter_queue/issues/20) - [Questions about dead letter queue](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/questions-about-dead-letter-queue/110798) - [DLQ rotate or retention](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dlq-rotate-or-retention/213860) Thank you! Any help or point in the right direction would be great-fully appreciated 🙂 ---
