@lvferdi I just dug through the kafka producer code a little bit and was surprised to find it does not use the

BufferedLogForwarder

base class that buffers logs in RocksDB before sending them over the wire (like the AWS plugins use). Maybe it has some other mechanism for buffering logs?

hmmmm, I would have assumed it used rocks for the buffer but in testing if I kill the connection, wait a bit, restore it no data is recorded for the time period it was killed. Seems like no buffer 😞
