Hi everyone, I have big netflow data(about 10 million logs/sec) ingest into ES through logstash, but I am afraid that ES is too late to write data in its database(how can I check if there has some data lost?).Therefore, I think I should insert a software to queue the data before sending it to ES to prevent dropping data. Is there any suggest software or any idea? I have tried Kafka, but it seems a little difficult. My OS is windows. this is my structure: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/1/7/1776c8cb84fbed1cadd652cc2ac84e2fe3b37fd5.png) thank you very much! ---
