Logstash TCP Input expected behavior when event source connection reset

Elastic Stack Logstash
1

When using the Logstash TCP Input Plugin, what is the expected behavior if the network connection between event source and Logstash is interrupted?

  • When the plugin is in client mode, will Logstash attempt to reconnect to the event source periodically? I don't see this happening in the code, but I may not know what I'm looking at.
  • When the plugin is in server mode, I assume Logstash will accept a new connection from the event source.
    Thanks for any input.

In client mode it will try to reconnect once a second.

Thanks, especially for the link to relevant spot in code!
