i am using HEC tokens to collect the logs from servers. Sometimes we are firing the events but the events is not coming to splunk. We have one indexer and our all tokens are managed on the indexer only. The moment we restart the indexer , all the logs will comes up frequently. If we dont restart we are not getting logs sending from HEC Tokens ?
what is the issue , how can i fix it ? why most of the time only a restart is pulling the logs ?

I'd check the monitoring console for queues getting filled up on your indexers. When you restart, they get cleaned up so maybe that's a reason for it.
Check queue fill ratio in Indexer Performance of Monitoring Console

You can't clear the queues. They are there to avoid a total Splunk crash and serve as a buffer that will get filled and emptied according to data flow rate and processing capacity. If you see that queues are full when you stop receiving events or are receiving too few events, then it is time for evaluation.
Maybe you have not adequate machines to ingest that amount of data, but I'm purely speculating. Check the indicators in the queues, and resource in general for your indexer layer to see if it is overflowing.

I'd say it has to be resource consumption, either queues filling up, RAM or CPUs, or even your network not coping with the volume, all that can be analyzed in the Monitoring Console
