How to: Retries and Buffering
Buffering and retries are managed by the Fluent Bit core engine, not by the plugin. Whenever the plugin encounters any error, it returns a retry to the engine which schedules a retry. This means that log group creation, log stream creation or log retention policy calls can consume a retry if they fail.
