Hello, I want to set a time interval, about 5-10 minutes, before sending events with Winlogbeat to Logstash. I read about the internal queue, but I don't fully understand if it does what I need. Is it possible to ship a bulk of events on every specified time? Thank you. ---

This isn't possible. The beats delivery model is to ship the events as soon as possible. You might be able to accomplish something similar with a cron task (or scheduled task), but why? ---
