i am using logstash to collect data from syslogs and social network (using "logstash -f" command) but i see that when i shutdown logstash all the data is deleted, how i can persist data so that i can it can be retrieved even if the connection is lost or logstash is stoped  
i was using this tutorial ([https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/twitter](https://github.com/elastic/examples/tree/master/Common%20Data%20Formats/twitter)) but when i stop logstash all the collected data disapear the only thing that remain is tthe index name
