Hi Team,

We would like to know about the compression logs.  
These compression logs are generated when we increase the compression level in filebeat.yml.

We are processing the logs from filebeat -\> kafka -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch -\> Kibana.

When we are using the compression setting in the filebeat, Is there a possibility of data loss? If there are any benefits and drawbacks of compression logs?

Could you please provide a brief explanation?

Regards  
Anushya
