Do we need to upload missing estreamer logs to splunk or its automatic ?

[utk123]

My estreamer to device connection was down for sometime, so now I want to upload missing device logs to splunk.
I thought once the connection is established estreamer running on splunk will automatically pull missing logs from Device, but that's not happening.
I can follow steps listed on below link to upload missing logs to splunk, but not sure if the format would be same as the one pulled by estreamer?

if you are using eStreamer add-on, you can place the file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/TA-eStreamer/data, the add-on will read/parse and send it to required indexers correctly. [ assuming the format is same as the original ones]
