Buffering

The Built-in buffering functionality prevents data loss due to connection or network problems. Data that could not be sent to the dedicated output system is buffered and resent when the connection is re-established.

To use the buffering functionality, you must set up a buffer module. The following buffer modules are currently available:

  • outputs.buffers.ram_1
  • outputs.databases.mongodb_1
  • outputs.redis.redis_1
  1. Insert one of these modules and set is_buffer to true. Note: Only one module per configuration can act as buffer.

  2. Insert your output module to be buffered and set buffered to true.

Info
The buffering module should run on the local system. Otherwise, data may not be buffered if there are network problems.
