Hi Team,

In my project we are using input as UDP for ex:  
input{  
udp {  
port =\> "${UDP\_PORT:514}"  
type =\> syslog  
}  
}  
Is the Logstash persistence queue support input plugins as udp?

The persistent queue is an option you can turn on or off independently of the kind of input you use.

That said, sometimes it does not make sense to drain one persistent queue into the LS persistent queue (PQ). - for example RabbitMQ or Kafka.

Bear in mind the purposes behind the LS PQ:

- buffer when the incoming data rate is higher than the outgoing data rate
- accept and store (in case of LS crash) data that you cannot replay.
