Forwarders not forwarding

Hello, we are having repeated issues where forwarders stop sending logs every week or two. Its different systems at different times. These are on Windows hosts. We can go in stop, and restart the service, at which point they will begin working again. Is there anything specific we can do to alleviate this issues. My only plan now is a scheduled task to restart them every few days.

There are known issues at least some 9.4.x versions UFs and HFs at least.
You could try 9.4.4 (some CVE, so if those are affecting you don't use) and 9.4.6 at least are working in our cases.

Ok, Thank you, WE have an upgrade coming soon in our new baseline, I'll check if it is 9.4.4 or 9.4.6.
