If the connection to Logstash is unreliable, the clients sending to it need to be able to queue up data so it can be resent when the connection is restored. Beats are e.g. able in recent versions to [spool to disk](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/6.5/configuring-internal-queue.html) to queue data up in case there is an issue with sending it on.

What does your ingest architecture look like? From where are you collecting data?
