Persistent queuing is available for certain types of inputs, but not all.

One major limitation with persistent queue at inputs  enabled on certain UF/HF/IHF/IUF inputs, if downstream parsingqueue/indexqueue/tcpoutqueue are blocked/saturated and a DS bundle push triggers splunk restart, events will be dropped if UF/HF/IHF/IUF failed to drain queues.

On windows DC, persistent queuing is enabled for windows modular inputs, DS bundle push triggers DC restart and events in parsingqueue/tcpoutqueue will be dropped.

On windows DC, some windows event (event occurred while the workstation was being shut down ) logs are always lost.

When Laptops are off the network and restarted/shutdown, in-memory queue events are dropped. 

With PQ, during splunk restart on forwarding tier, still splunk in-memory queued events might get dropped.
