When updating td-agent, you must restart the daemon. During this time, your application may post logs to td-agent.
If you’re using td-logger-ruby or td-logger-java, the logger library itself buffers the logged events up to a certain amount of data. When the daemon returns, the buffered events are flushed to td-agent.
If you’re using other languages, no buffering mechanism is implemented. So if you don’t want to lose your logs, stop your applications first (by separating the app run from your load balancer or terminating the process, and so on) and then upgrade td-agent.
