I am new to using ELK. I have the following configuration: Filebeat—\>Logstash—\>Elasticsearch—\>Kibana. I have the following questions 1. When filebeat service is stopped while Logstash is still running and later when filebeat service is restarted, how does filebeat keep a track of the logs read already and from where it has to start ? 2. When Logstash service is stopped while filebeat is running and later when Logstash service is restarted how the pending logs are sent to Logstash ? 3. Do I need to follow a particular order to start the services ? ---
