Data loss after Hyper-V server restart

When a Microsoft Hyper-V server fails or is restarted, you may encounter data loss if your forwarder collecting data from that machine is not restarted manually after the Hyper-V failure/restart. When your Microsoft Hyper-V server restarts, your forwarder automatically restarts with the Microsoft Hyper-V server. However, you may need to restart the forwarder manually again to prevent data loss.
