Does Universal Forwarder connection Loss cause data loss ?

Hello,

I need help on understanding something.

If I have a folder being monitored by a universal forwarder and I lose the connectivity between the universal forwarder and the indexer. Does that cause the loss of all the data that arrives on the monitored folder during connection loss time ?

Do i need to use Ack to ensure that universal ?

In which case do I need to have Ack enabled ? It's only when i have streams/scripts arriving on the forwarder without storing the results on disk right ?

Regards,
David
